A card-based duel game with Rock-Paper-Scissors mechanics. Read your opponent. Play your hand. Strike true.
Choose a stance or special from your hand. Stances are public — specials stay hidden.
Both players throw Rock, Paper, or Scissors at the same time.
Winner deals damage equal to their stance score. Specials trigger. First to 0 HP loses.
No account needed. Instant play.
“The moment you start second-guessing your throw because you’ve read your opponent wrong twice in a row — that’s where this game lives.”
— Priya, Playtester
“My 10-year-old beat me three games in a row and I have no explanation. It’s not luck — she’s just better at reading me than I thought.”
— Rachel, Parent of two
“Shadow Hands does something difficult: it rewards experience without punishing beginners. The depth is there, but it never locks you out.”
— The Card Table, Board Game Podcast
“I don’t play card games. I picked this up in five minutes and had a genuinely great time. That doesn’t happen often.”
— Jess, Casual player
“We’ve been using it as our “before dinner” game. It’s quick enough that nobody complains, but there’s always a rematch.”
— Marcus, Dad of three
“The mind game is real and it compounds. By the end of a session you’re managing tendencies, pattern-breaking, and card economy simultaneously. I want a ranked mode.”
— Leon, Competitive card game player
