Playing Party Duels online

Party Duels is another game invented for the house, for parties of 3 to 8. Each round two players fight in a mini-game and the rest bet, so nobody sits watching: you either duel or put your call on the line.

There are fifty mini-games: rock, paper, scissors, penalties, gunslingers, tic-tac-toe, reflexes, quick maths, memory, hot potato, tug of war, Simon says, shell game... Each duel takes under a minute and a game six to twelve.

The table shows the mini-game live to the whole room, who bet on whom and what everyone scored. The top two play a final that counts double, so it is rarely decided before the last duel.

What gets settled before the start

The mode. "One at a time": one duel at a time while the rest watch and bet; the number of rounds depends on how many of you there are (two challenges each up to four players, one from five, plus the final). "Everyone plays": seven rounds where everyone fights at once in pairs.

Your first game

When it is your turn to challenge, the table shows three mini-games with their rules and the other players: tap one of each and press "I challenge you!".

If you are not dueling, tap one of the two duelists to back them; you can change until it starts. Then you watch the duel live.

If you are dueling, the mini-game appears on your screen with a line telling you what to do. If your time runs out on a move, the table plays for you at random.

How to start a game

1. Create a room from this page and share the code on screen with whoever is playing.
2. Everyone opens House Of Decks, enters that code and takes a seat at the table.
3. Once there are between 3 and 8 of you, the host deals and the game begins.
4. If you would rather not organise anything, drop into Quick Play and play with whoever is waiting.
