A Game of Swords and Shields: PNP Edition

From BoardGameGeek:

Stanley Schuster's "A Game of Swords and Shields" is a turn based competitive deck building card battle game for 2 players from age 12. It lasts about 30 to 60 minutes and has a high replayability. It is less about luck and chance as about strategy and decisions. Its game mechanic and the fact, that you can apply card effects on almost any faced up card, will give you a very unique experience. Attack your opponent and defend yourself while you are building up an army of swords and shields until one of you loses all their hope or health points. -description from the designer
