Overview
Disc Duelers is a lighthearted competitive game of
battling discs. Players control a team of fighters with
different powers and capabilities, and set out to claim
victory by defeating opponents. There are several ways
to play, but we recommend starting at the beginning
of the book and working through the game modes one
by one. Classic Elimination is the simplest game mode,
from which all other play modes are derived.

Options & Variants
The book is organized into various sections to
make it easier for you to learn to play the game. These
sections are organized into Options and Variants.
Options are additional rules you can add on to the
base game for a different play experience. You don’t
need to be an expert to use most of the options, but it’s a
good idea to play the basic game at least once before you
dive into them.
Variants are alternate rule sets that change the
game drastically and are very different from the basic
game. Most of the Variants are more advanced, and
require that all players be familiar with the basic game
in order to play properly.

Real-Space Gaming
What is real-space gaming? A real-space game is one
that takes place in real space using real physics and real
materials.
In a real-space game, moves are made by pushing
the parts along the table, and physics takes care of the
resolution. For example, in Disc Duelers, the primary
way of moving a character or making an attack is to flick
or prod the character’s disc. How far can a character
move? What’s the range of their attack? It’s all decided
by how far and how accurately you can perform that
flick.
Real-space gaming is messy. Things will happen
that aren’t covered in the rules. Someone will bump the
table. Someone will nudge the terrain. This is normal,
and you will need to make snap judgments to keep things
moving and minimize impact on the game. Just keep in
mind that the most important thing is to have fun.
Making Space
In this game box we’ve included characters, items,
and rules. However, the play area, the most important
component of the game, is up to you to provide.
A Disc Duelers game plays best on a 4-foot square
or circular table, but any kind of surface can work fine.
You can even add special terrain with special rules, if
you want! But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Here are
some ideas to help you set up.
Collect a few items from what’s available to get set
up. Here are some criteria for good terrain:
- Closed shapes make the best terrain.
- Wooden blocks or stackable pieces can be put
together to make larger terrain pieces.
- Terrain should be heavy enough that it won’t move
when hit by the character discs–styrofoam is usually not
good for terrain.
- Terrain should have a hard exterior. Hard terrain
will bounce discs more effectively, making trick shots
easier.
- Terrain should not be valuable or breakable.
- Terrain should usually be single-level, at least when
introducing the game. Pieces with ramps are usually
better for advanced players.
Once you have assembled enough terrain to make the
table cluttered but not crowded, you are ready to play.
Try to play in an area where there are no couches or low-
sitting coffee tables–there’s nothing worse than having
to move furniture when something falls off the table
(and things will).
Safety Precautions
This game features small wooden discs which can fly
around the area. These discs pose a choking hazard for
children and pets. Take care to retrieve any discs which
have fallen out of play as quickly as possible and to clean
up the game completely when you are finished playing.
Flying discs can also injure adults who do not take
proper care. Always pay attention when another player
is making a shot. Do not shoot towards other players. Do
not make shots with unreasonable or excessive force.
Play in an area where you are not worried about
flying objects damaging walls, furniture, breakables,
collectibles, or heirlooms.
More than just the Box
As you can probably tell from the sentiments above,
Disc Duelers is a much less structured game than many
others in your collection.
We encourage you to build upon the game with new
terrain forms, play modes, scenarios, and whatever
additional possibilities you can imagine. Experiment!

Reading Character Cards
Each character card has an illustration, two icons
(red and blue discs) and a special effect. The illustration
on the character card will match the illustration on the
character disc. Together, the disc and card are called the
Character.
The red disc number is the number of Attack Actions

The special effect differs by character. You can read
the special effect below each character in text format,

First Time Setup
Before your first game, you will need to set up the
game by applying the stickers on the sticker sheet to the
52 white character discs. We’ve included one extra disc,
just in case any become lost.
The square Flag Stickers are included for use with
the Racing Variant in the back of the book. Don’t apply
them to the discs!
Classic Elimination
This is the most basic version of Disc Duelers, and
can be played by anywhere from 2 to 6 players. We
recommend starting with this game mode before trying
out the others.
Playing without Items
We recommend playing without items for your
first game. When doing so, you will need to remove
characters with item-related powers from the character
card deck during setup. These are: Abarene, César,
Clive, Endrbyt, Gerard, Lixis, Iri, and Sera.
Terrain Setup
Set all terrain to the side so that you have a clear
table. Starting with any player, each player takes one
piece of terrain and places it anywhere on the table,
going clockwise around the table. There are a few rules
to observe when placing terrain:
- Terrain cannot block any portion of the table’s
surface from any other–you cannot divide the table or
create closed shapes of terrain.
- Two pieces of terrain must be placed at least one
short card edge apart from each other.
Continue until the terrain has been as evenly divided
among the players as possible. Any leftover terrain can
be left out of the game.
Player Setup
Give each player 6 random character cards. Each
chooses one of these six to keep, then passes the
remainder to their left. Continue this process until each
player has kept a set of 3 cards*. Discard the rest of
the cards back to the box. They will not be used in this
game. This is called a Character Draft.
*In a 3 or 4 player game, build teams of 4 cards. In
a 2 player game, build 5 card teams, and start with an 8
card hand.
Each player claims the discs corresponding to the
cards they kept (those with matching pictures), and
places their cards along one edge of the table. Placing
the cards on a separate table or on top of terrain is ideal,
so discs will not collide with them during play.
Setup Round
Randomly choose a player to go first. The first round
is called the Setup Round. During this first round of
play, no attacks may be made, and no one takes damage.
Instead, each player places a disc from their team
onto any edge of the table, and makes 2 moves with it.
Continue this until all discs are on the table.
During the Setup Round, no discs can take
damage, and no special powers activate.
5
Gameplay
The game proceeds as a series of turns, starting with
the first player in the setup round and going clockwise.
When a player’s turn begins, they must activate a
ready disc and take a turn with it. Turn that disc’s card
90 degrees to unready it, then take a turn with that disc
(see moving and attacking).
At the end of your turn, if all of your character cards
are unready, turn them all back to their ready status. If
you only have 1 character, this will happen every turn.
Elimination
When one of your discs has 5 or more damage on
it, remove it from play immediately. That disc and
its character card are returned to the box. All of your
characters immediately become ready and regain 1 life
when one of your discs is eliminated.
When a player has only 1 disc left, he does not
unready that disc after it acts.
If all of a player’s discs are eliminated, that player is
eliminated from the game.
The last player standing wins!
Movement
Movement actions are represented by a blue disc.
To move a disc, first announce that you are making
a Move. Next, flick, poke, or prod the disc with your
hand. If the disc moves at all, then the move is legal.
When moving, your disc can hit terrain without
incurring any life loss. Hitting other discs during
movement causes your disc to take 1 point of damage.
Attacking
Attacking works just like movement, except for two
important changes.
When attacking, hitting any terrain will cause you to
take 1 damage.
When attacking, hitting any other disc will cause the
disc that you hit to take 1 damage. Hitting discs while
attacking does not cause damage to the attacking disc.
Good Control is the
path to victory!

Turns
On a player’s turn, that player will select one card
from their team that is ready to act, and take a turn with
it. They will unready the corresponding card by turning
it on its side, then take actions with the disc matching
the card. This card will not be able to act again until all
of the player’s other cards have taken turns.
During a turn, a disc is able to make a number of
moves equal to its ‘movement’ rating, and a number of
attacks equal to its ‘attack’ rating. It may also be able to
use some special powers.

Unless otherwise noted, all discs have 5 life.

6
 It helps if you remember that attacking is just
the opposite of movement. “When you move, hitting
terrain is OK; when you attack, it’s bad. When you
move, hitting discs is bad; when you attack, it’s OK.”
(Above: The red disc is attacking,
the blue one is moving)
The maximum amount of damage a disc can typically
take from an attack (without items or special powers)
is 3 points: 1 point for the attack itself, 1 point for the
disc hitting terrain, and 1 point for knocking the disc off
of the table. However, it is quite hard to do all 3 kinds of
damage with a single attack.
A single character cannot take two points of the
same kind of damage in one attack–if a disc hits two
pieces of terrain, for example, it still takes only one
damage.
7
Ranged Attacks
Many characters mention Ranged Attacks. A
ranged attack is performed by placing the small red disc
within an inch of the attacking disc, and then flicking
just the red disc.

If the small red disc hits any terrain before it hits a

target, the attack fails and does no damage.

Otherwise, the ranged attack works just like a

regular attack, and deals damage as normal or as
described by the character card.

Some ranged attacks are chained, meaning that the

red disc can be flicked multiple times on its path to the
destination. In this case, the disc is still removed as Ranged attacks start within an inch of the

Collateral Damage
When a disc is hit by a disc that was attacked, it
takes 1 point of damage (for example, if A knocks B into
C, both B and C would take a point of damage).
Any disc that hits a piece of terrain outside of its
turn takes damage, so you can use moves to bash
enemies into terrain, if you aren’t worried about taking
extra damage yourself from colliding with them during
movement.
Defeat
If a disc takes damage such that 5 damage is now on
its character card, then the disc is defeated. Remove the
disc from the table, and discard its card back to the box.
Option: Item Cards
Item cards can be acquired during the game, and
have specific powers that the character holding the item
can utilize.
Name
Action Type
Single or
Multi-use?
Item Card
Effect
Reading Item Cards
The item card has two icons in its top left. One is
superimposed on a red or blue disc, and the other on a
card back.
The first icon determines which kind of action
(attack or movement) and how many of that kind of
action are required to utilize the item. A (recycle)
symbol in this area means that the item is always active,
and doesn’t need an action to be used.
The second icon determines whether the item is
reusable. A arrow means that the item is discarded
after being used, while a (recycle) symbol means the
item can be used multiple times.
Using Item Cards
When the item is used (or whenever relevant, for
always-active items), follow the effects in the bottom of
the text box.
Characters may only carry 2 items at a time. If a
character gains an item while they have 2, they may
discard one to gain the new item. Characters may not

drop held items unless an ability says so.
 When a character is defeated (or injured, in the
sports games), they discard all items attached to his
character card.
Crates & Items
Items are optional, and can be included in almost
any game mode. We recommend not playing with items
during your first game, and mixing them in once you
have experienced the basic Classic Elimination game at
least once.
Initial Setup
If you are setting up at the beginning of the game,
each player drops one crate onto the field before
discs are placed, following the normal rules for crate
dropping.
Crates cannot be picked up by moving discs during
placement or setup–only once the game begins proper.
Acquiring Items
Items are acquired by opening Crates which appear on the
table during gameplay.

Many items can be used in

conjunction with your character’s
built-in powers! Look for
exploitable combinations to
gain an unfair advantage over
opponents!

Placing Crates
If playing with items, you will need to set up the
game board with crates (the brown cubes included in
the box). The number of crates in play should always be
half the number of players in the game (to a minimum
of 3). Leave some crates aside if not playing with a full
compliment of players.
Crates are dropped onto the table from any point
from a height of at least 1 foot. If a crate bounces off of
the table or onto terrain such that it cannot be reached,
the player to the right of the one who dropped it may ‘re-
drop’ the crate, following the same rules. If they miss,
re-drops continue around the table until someone drops
it successfully.

Defeat & Falling in Team Games

Team play uses Point Capture Rules, so each time a
player is defeated, they restart on their team’s side of
the table at the beginning of the next team turn.
A player who goes off of the side of the table also
begins on their team’s side of the field.

Scoring Points
A player makes a point for their team whenever they
defeats the disc of an enemy team member.
In a 2-team game, a player can also score a point
for their team by standing within 3 inches of the enemy
team’s starting side at the end of their team turn.

Disc Soccer
Overview
This is a game for 2 players that takes between 1 and
2 hours to play.
In this game, you will attempt to use your characters
to move the black disc down the field and into your
opponent’s goal.
There are no fouls in disc soccer, and knocking
out your opponent’s discs is a viable strategy to get an
advantage on turns. The player with the most discs in
play gets the most turns, and is therefore more likely to
score!
The game goes on until one player scores 7 points,
or until 3 non-scoring rounds pass. The player with the
most points is then declared the winner!
Setup
Set 20 character cards face-up on the table. Players
draft teams of 8 characters, taking turns back and forth.
Only 5 of these 8 discs will be in play at a time. The
remaining 3 discs will go on your bench. The discs on
the bench are out of play and kept off of the table. They
do not receive turns.
 Terrain may exist, but the table should be largely
clear. Each player should have a goal on his or her
side of the table, erected from two markers, such
as two pennies or two wooden blocks. Try to choose
goal markers that will not be moved around easily by
collisions.
Divide the play area evenly into two sides, using
tape, markers, or some other method.
Resetting / Setup
At intervals during gameplay, there will be a Reset.
Here are the times to reset:
1) When either player scores a point
2) When all players on both sides are exhausted /
defeated.*
3) When the game is first beginning after setup.
The team who was last scored upon (or a coin toss, at
the game’s start) gains possession of the Black Disc and
may place it anywhere on their side of the field.
The player with possession arranges their discs
however they like. They may freely swap discs between
their play field and their bench, as long as the field has
no more than 5 active discs in play. It is a good idea to
swap with your bench often, so that your team does not
become bogged down with excessive damage.
The player without possession then arranges their
discs however they like.
All discs, including defeated discs, recover 1 life
and become ready when there is a reset. A disc that is
defeated will return to life and be playable again due to
this life gain. Discs on the bench recover 2 life per reset
instead.
*Each time there is a reset due to condition 2 (no
more turns left), make a note of it on your score pad.
13
Moving the Ball
The black disc can be moved by touching it with
either an attack or a move (it never does damage).
When the black disc touches a player disc that is
not the currently active character, that player may
immediately make two move actions. This is called a
Pass/Intercept Bonus, and interrupts the current
turn. It does not unready a character, and can be used
by a character even if he has already taken a turn.
Using these bonuses, you can pass to your allies, but
your enemies might also intercept the ball and knock it
out. Use team setups and these bonus turns to move the
ball rapidly down the field. A disc that is defeated by an
attack at the same time he gets a pass/intercept bonus
doesn’t receive this bonus movement.
Scoring
When the black disc enters a player’s goal (on the
opposite side from him), that player gains 1 point. Then
perform a reset.
Scoring immediately ends the round, even if a player
would normally get a pass/intercept bonus.
Good sportsmanship
is for players–your discs
can be as rough as they
want on the field.

incurred. In this case, the penalty-causing player is the
one whose turn it was.
In case of a penalty, the turn ends immediately, and
the player whose turn is next chooses their character to
use for their upcoming turn.
The chosen character is moved to the edge of the
table where the black disc fell, and may place the black
disc and his own character disc anywhere within 6
inches of that point.

Game End
The game ends when a player scores their 7th point
OR when there are 3 resets due to no more turns being
left (condition 2 under ‘resetting’).
In the first case, the player who scored their 7th
point is declared the winner!
In the second case, the player with the most points
is declared the winner. In the case of a tie, play rounds
until either player scores a point.

Play Option: Items Setup

You may choose to play without items in this mode,
or with items, whichever you prefer. The item rules are
the same as normal for this mode, with a few changes:
Only two crates are dropped, and they are re-
dropped each time there is a reset. If crates are in play
during a reset, they are removed before new crates are
dropped.
Use a tape or laser or two markers to divide the table
in half. Each side will want about 4 square feet of play
area (a 2 foot by 2 foot area)
Each player has three characters. Draft 3 characters
from starting hands of 6 characters. Randomly select a
server for the first turn.
Resetting
The board will be Reset every time a point is scored,
and the player most recently scored against is the

14‘Server’.
 1. Every character recovers 1 life.
2. Place the black disc on the side of the Server. This
player arranges their characters however they wish and
readies all characters.
3. The second player may then freely arrange their
characters and readies them all.
Gameplay
If the ball is on your side of the table at the start of a
player turn, then it is your player turn. Ready all of your
characters. You may take a full disc turn with each of
your characters, then your player turn is over.
You can move the black disc with an attack. It will do
1 damage to a character if it is hit during a move.
If the black disc is on your side of the table or out
of the play area at the end of your turn, then your
opponent gains a point. Reset the table, and you are
now the server.
Passing / Intercepting
If the black disc touches a player whose turn it is
not, then that disc may immediately make one move,
then one attack (this works very similar to the pass/
intercept rules in Disc Soccer)
Winning
The first player to Eleven points wins the game. If
you like, you can play best of 3 games.
Disc Racing
Overview
This is a game for 2-6 players that takes between 1
and 2 hours to play.
Each player has 3 discs. The first player to get 2
discs across the finish line wins.
Racer selection is by draft, just like Classic
Elimination Mode.

Injuries
When a character loses all of its life points, it suffers
an injury. Injured characters are removed from play, and
only return to play during a reset. An injured character
who returns to play returns with 2 points of damage
already on it.

Penalties
Knocking the black disc entirely off of the table (not
just out of the play area) causes a penalty. A penalty is a
point for the other team.
A character may cross onto their opponent’s side of
the table, but may not attack the black disc while it is
on this side of the table. Touching the black disc with an
attack or move while it is on the opponent’s side of the
table is a penalty.

Field Line
It is possible that the black disc comes to rest on the
center line of the field. In this case, it is considered to
be still on the side of the player who caused it to come to Setup
rest there. Set up a generously sized table. Five or six feet
square or circular is about right.

15
 Place terrain to create a circular track, and make
sure all players know which direction they should be
heading around the track.
Place pairs of upside-down character discs or small
coins along the track about 6 or more inches apart to
act as gates. During the race, players must pass through
these gates in succession to perform a lap around the
track. Use tokens to mark how many gates a character
has passed through. (Some flag stickers are included so
you can make gate terrain pieces if you wish)
If a gate is moved during play, return it to its
position.
Gameplay
Play works as normal, with each player taking turns
and moving along the track.
Characters can still take damage and claim/use items
during the race as normal. Just remember that each
character must pass through each gate to complete a lap!
A character can use his entire turn to Repair. If he
does, he removes all damage from his character card and
flips it upside down. Until the start of his next turn, he
cannot take damage.
A character may repair anytime, but if he has 5 or
more damage, he MUST use his next turn to repair.
Turn Order
Each round, turn order proceeds with the last place
disc and moves towards the first place disc. It can be
helpful to place the character cards in turn order off to
the side of the table, and reorder them each turn to keep
track of the changing turn order.
Laps
If you are playing multiple laps, you will need to have
some tokens on hand to keep track of laps. A single lap
is usually enough for most games.
When a racer crosses the finish line of his final lap,
he is removed from the table right away.
16
Option: Items
Items can be used in this play mode, and the item
rules work as normal.
Option: Team Racing
This mode can be played by 9, 12, 15, 18, or 21
players. Players are divided into teams of 3, and each
player gets 1 disc.
The first team to have 2 of its 3 racers cross the
finish line wins!

or ‘melee’ attack that can be used by flicking their
character disc. If these characters have special ranged
attack bonuses (like Ottavia and Tatsumi) they don’t get
these bonuses when using their melee attack.
Q: Can I bounce my ranged attack off of terrain?
A: No. Once a ranged attack hits terrain, any other
target that gets hit by it is unaffected.
Q: Can I use Kaitlyn’s Power to lift up the hand of
a player playing Iaxus or using the Barrier?
A: Yes. If you do so, the player may not place their
hand back on the table afterwards–the effect ends
entirely.
Q: My disc is stuck in a corner of terrain or is
otherwise impossible to flick.
A: You can slide the disc to put one finger-space
between your disc and any nearby terrain or other discs
before flicking. You cannot use this ‘free spacing’ to
cause damage or push a disc off of the table, however.
Q: My disc has become stuck on top of terrain or in
a place where it will never be reachable.
A: If the other players at the table decide the disc
has become stuck or is in a place where it cannot be
reasonably reached by other discs, consider it as though
the disc had fallen off of the table. It comes back into
play within 6 inches of the spot it got stuck.
Tips & Tricks
- Take some time to test out your table before
starting. Smooth tables will cause discs to fly further,
while covered tables or padded tables typically allow
discs to travel much shorter (and stop more abruptly)
with the same amount of force.
- If you want to measure precisely, 6 inches is one
short card edge plus one long card edge. A foot is two
short card edges plus two long card edges (or the game
box plus one long card edge).
Disc Duelers is part of the World of Indines, a
collection of games features recurring characters in
a vibrant and growing fantasy world. Many of the
characters in Disc Duelers also appear in other games
in the series like BattleCON, Pixel Tactics, Seven Card
Slugfest, and more. Visit www.worldofindines.com

Designer’s Note
Disc Duelers is designed to be a game that you build
the way you want to play. If there are rules, cards,
items, or the like that don’t work at your table, establish
house rules and make the game yours!
In many ways, it is a baseline–a kit upon which to
build the game you want to play.
I hope you have a great time designing arenas and
battling with your Disc Duelers!

It’s time...
...to disc duel!
