What is Nova Duel

Nova Duel is a high-speed, 1v1 tabletop card game of tactical starship combat. Designed for print-and-play accessibility but built with wargame depth, Nova Duel puts you in the cockpit of a customizable starfighter where every decision drains your limited energy reserves.

This isn't just about drawing the best cards—it's about managing a volatile reactor. You generate 3 Energy (EN) per turn, but you draw 4 cards. You cannot play everything. Do you dump energy into a devastating Alpha Strike? Or do you reserve power for an Evasive Maneuver to survive the enemy’s retort?
