print & playBlade Chronicles

A sword-dueling card game with a touch of magic. Print it, cut it, play it.

Blade Chronicles is a print-and-play dueling card game by Maciej Cielecki: each player picks a hero, builds nothing, shuffles the hero's own deck and fights. This page is the one place its files are published. Everything below is generated from the project repository, so what you see is what exists.

Rulebook 1.00 and nine deck downloads are now available as edition 1.00.
