Overview

Showdown Tactics is a dueling game. Each player must use tiles 1-9 and defeat their opponent with a higher numbered tile. Players choose 1 Dragon Tile each round from a number range of 1-9 and duel their opponent for supremacy. In more detail, the attacking player chooses 1 Dragon Tile and lays it face-down on the first space of the Arena, which is an electronic device that can recognize the value of a tile. Their opponent must then choose 1 Dragon Tile of their own and place it face-down on their side of the Arena steps. Both Dragon Tiles are then judged and Round Victory is declared. For a player to be victorious, their Dragon Tile must have a higher number than their opponent’s. The game ends once 9 rounds have been completed or when 1 player obtains 5 round victories. The player with 5 round victories wins. —user summary
