Two Dwarf clans are facing off in an epic battle! Their ultimate weakness? Flaming cupcakes! The first player to eliminate all of their enemy’s dwarves and ogres from the game board wins.


In Flaming Cupcakes Duel, players select either the Red or Blue Dwarf clan and battle to the end! Players draw 5 cards from their battle deck and complete 1-3 actions per turn; unless special cards otherwise allow. Actions include building the clan by placing an ogre on the frontline, placing their catapult (which they use to deal additional damage and can take damage to prolong the lives of their dwarves and ogres), healing, playing a special card, or attacking the enemy with axes, flaming cupcakes, ogre smashes and even dragons. Combo attacks result in a damage bonus!


Players can also use Reinforced cards which allow them to add shield protection, add damage to attacks, or reduce the action cost of a card.


Upon being attacked, players can play defense cards that block attacks or reverse damage back to the other player. Other special cards allow a player to fully heal a dwarf or ogre, steal an opponent’s card, force their opponent to discard their hand, and distract the opponent with shiny gemstones so they can’t defend against attacks!

We really enjoyed the strategy and ability to defend against attacks. With limited action points per turn, there are equal parts luck and strategy - do you attack, defend, or protect?!
