Iron & Brass: Duel is a 2 player, 9 card "nano-game" originally created for the 2016 9 card nano game contest. The game is an infantry skirmish card game. Each round of the game is a 3 vs 3 infantry encounter.

Each player will have 6 soldiers - 1 on each side of the 3 cards. These soldiers are labeled A, B, C, D, E, and F for clarity. Each soldier (card face) is also named alphabetically to give it more of a human touch.

Each soldier card has 2 actions per side, for a total of 12 actions per player.

All battle resolutions are:

  1. Determine # of dice to roll: Attacker's dice +/- Defender's modifiers 2)Roll the determined number of dice, 1 or more "6" = opponent card side (not the entire card) is defeated. So, in effect, the game will play as if each player has 6 1-sided soldier cards, but in reality, each will have 3 2-sided soldier cards. Hope that makes sense.

The game challenges each player to decide which soldier actions to play, where to play them, and when to attack.
