About the game
Tavern Tussle is a fast paced card brawler for 2-4 players. Players draft cards by selecting and activating one card and discarding another, and then passing the remaining cards clockwise. Then, the active cards activate and resolve their effects based on higher initiative goes first. After the end of this phase, the cards go to their respective player's tableau and after a few rounds of drafting at the end of the game, players score points based on set collection. Most points wins the game. -description from designer
