RivalWing: A Dragon Battle Game
RivalWing is a simulated dragon duel card game. Different types of dragons battle using air maneuver, ground tactics and magic. The last dragon standing is the winner of the game. The game can accommodate 2 to 8 players.
Each player controls a dragon. The dragons can have different abilities. Players play cards to damage the other dragons in the game or to defend against attacks. When a dragon goes unconscious they are out of the battle for the rest of the duel. When there is only one dragon left the duel is over.
Rules And Game Play
The rues of play are available in a text file format for printing and viewing.
Assembling The Game
The card sets are available for download in Adobe PDF format. There are two versions of the card sets. One set is designed for duplex printers; printers that can print on both sides of a sheet of paper. The duplex set adds a card design to the back of the card sets. The other set designed for printers that can only print on a single side of paper.
Paper
The game can be printed out on standard 8 by 11 inch paper. If you have colored paper or card stalk (a heaver weight of paper) that can go through your printer without jamming, the heaver paper will add to the look and feel of the cards. Heaver paper will make the cards easier to shuffle.
First test deck was designed and played using standard paper.
Second test deck was designed using 100 lb rose paper (very nice)
Third deck (given away to a friend) was on 100 lb gloss paper.
Number Of Cards To Print
The name of each PDF file below contains the number of copies that need to be printed for each set. Additionally the number of copies that need to be printed is listed at the top of each sheet.
Here is a list of each card and the number of copies of the card in the game.
Cutting: The Longest Part Of Assembly
After you have printed your sheets of cards, they will need to be cut out. This will take you a while. Get a comfortable pair of scissors. Cut along the outside edge of the black lines of the cards. The corner of each card has rounded edges, and yes, it is possible to cut them out nicely. This part takes some patience. Speeding though the cutting does not pay off.
Cutting out 205 cards by myself while taking my time to do a good job on the cuts took me about five hours. Go grab three movies you wanted to see, sit down and cut while watching them. Be sure to flex your hands every so often and give them a rest. If you fingers go numb, take a break!
Storage
Here are several suggestions for storing the cards.
Go to a card/comic shop and pick up a solid card container.
Use a rubber band (least favorite)
Use small zip-lock bags.
Build a cardholder out of cardboard, using hot glue.
