Example of a hand in Archduke

SNEAK-A-PEEK
TO GET READY

Your hand will begin with four cards. You'll look at two of them at the start of the game. All cards are placed face-down, so make sure to remember what was where.

High cards bad
LOW CARDS GOOD

Over the course of a round, you'll have opportunities to swap cards. Your goal is to discard or swap as many high cards as possible, to stay light.

Keep an eye out for these
Special Cards

These cards come in all weights and sizes. The power lies in how skillfully you can swap or play them. Perfect for a little sabotage or a quick grab.

Stay Sharp
Get Rewarded

If your opponent discards a card that you know to have in your hand, you can throw it on top. But be quick, you can only discard matched cards until the next player begins their turn! Pay attention, and you may have one less card to worry about!
