Description

Deadly Harmony is a high-energy fighting game that combines the thrill of card games with the intensity of classic arcade battles. Inspired by the iconic Kung-Fu movies of the 70s and early 90s arcade fighters, this game drops you into the midst of combat where strategy and psychological manipulation are just as important as the moves you make. With easy-to-learn rules, 2 to 4 players can dive into the action, each keeping a hand of cards that represents their arsenal of potential options. As players execute combat moves by playing cards simultaneously, the game becomes a thrilling dance of bluffing, outwitting, and outmaneuvering your opponents. You'll need to read your adversaries, look for tells, and know them better than they know themselves to emerge victorious. With a playtime of just 20 minutes, Deadly Harmony is the perfect game for a quick showdown with friends, and its variable player powers and simultaneous action selection mechanics ensure that no two battles are ever the same. Designed by Dylan Green and first published in 2008, this game has been delivering fast-paced, adrenaline-fueled fun for years, and its unique blend of hand management, rock-paper-scissors, and strategic thinking makes it a must-play for fans of fighting games and card games alike.
