How it all began

Destrier Games was born from a passion for creating stimulating experiences that spark competition and honor the timeless elegance of classic games. What began as a spark between friends who shared a love for medieval traditions and strategic duels quickly evolved into a mission: to design games that merge the grandeur of the past with the thrill of modern play.

Our signature creation, Destrier Duel, is more than just a game; it’s an invitation to a tradition where courage meets cunning. Inspired by the secret jousts of noble houses that once settled disputes through wit rather than steel, Destrier Duel challenges you to master the art of foresight—every card a choice, every duel a test of will.

Today, Destrier Games continues to innovate and craft new experiences for those seeking games as rich in story as they are in intensity. We invite you to take your seat at the table, step into the world of Destrier, and claim your place in a game where legends are born.

Game Rules

Objective: Get as close as possible to 23 (or the active target) without going over. Use Number and Destrier cards to outsmart your opponent.

Setup: Shuffle both decks. Each player draws 2 Destrier cards, 1 hidden Hole card, and 1 face-up Number card. The player with the highest visible card starts.

Possible actions: Draw a Number card, play a Destrier card, or stand to lock your hand. (Maximum of 5 total cards.)

Destrier cards:

  • PLUS 3 — Add 3 to a hand’s total
  • MINUS 3 — Subtract 3 from a hand’s total
  • EXCHANGE — Swap last visible Number cards between players
  • BURY — Send the last visible Number card of any hand to the bottom of the deck
  • DENY — Block a Destrier (same turn only)
  • DECLARE 21 / 25 / 27 — Change the victory target

Winning: Reveal Hole cards — closest to the target wins. A “11 + 12” hand wins instantly.
