Absolute Destiny: Apocalypse
A Revolutionary Girl Utena homebrew
Dueling Arena
Each night* the demon chooses candidates to duel.
Each night has a Dueling Phase.
How to Run
After you have woken the Demon to choose tonight's duelists, delcare that the Dueling Arena is open for the night and tell the Demon to keep their eyes open until this phase is over. Players may not talk during the Dueling phase. It is helpful to remind all other players to keep their eyes closed even if they are tapped.
Tap the players selected by the Demon, as well as any players that think they are dueling. They must keep their eyes closed, but choose either rock, paper, or scissors using a hand signal. Record who won and who lost the duel using reminder tokens. Both duelists lose if they tie. Once this is complete, tell players to stop their hand signals, and ask the Demon to close their eyes. Declare that the Dueling Arena is closed, which ends the Dueling phase.
Anyone who has lost a duel dies at this point, unless there is an ablilty preventing this.
