Dans les Cordes is a card game about boxing for 2 players. The 2 boxers will have to manage their stamina and their hands by using action cards in order to knock out their opponent before the third gong. The players can use 4 types of cards: Attack cards to initiate an attack. Defence cards to cancel or to atenuate the effect of an attack card. Counterattack cards to initiate/counter an attack. Recovery cards to draw cards or to recover health points or stamina points. They can also discard cards to recover 1 stamina point for each discarded card. The game ends when a boxer loses his last health point, he's KO. (double KO can happened) If the gong card is drawn for the third time, the game ends and the boxer with the more health points is declared winner, if it's a draw the boxer with the more stamina points wins the game. (a draw can happened)
