What is Edge Lords?
Edge Lords is a 2-player, dexterity card game designed to simulate the feel of actual swordplay—the split-second choices and strategies you have to make to stay alive. This is a real-time combat game. What does that mean? Fights move fast! There are no turns. Agility is key. Still, a smart player can easily shift the tides of battle with patient gameplay—waiting for the right moment to deal heavy blows.
Edge Lords asymmetrical! For those unfamiliar, that means you have multiple characters to choose from each with their own strengths lending to unique play styles. Check out the 6 current fighters you can choose from and learn their unique playstyles below.

The Story
THE LAKE OF DOZMARY
In the land of Dozmary, power belongs to the powerful. A great duel is held each year as the ice thaws from a large pool of water known only as “The Lake.” On the first morning of Spring, something miraculous happens. The ethereal swan, Cygnus the Giver, appears wielding a mythical blade, Reedsplitter.
Whoever possesses the sword is declared Lord of the Edge and Sovereign of The Lake for the next four seasons. Questioning this rule is questioning the divine rite of the Giver often resulting in exile or, on rare occasions, forced to duel in Edge Lord’s tournament.
