Optional house overlay for an already playable skill duel activity. First name that base activity and retain its complete equipment, people, safety, turns, main scoring and finish rules. This card does not supply or authorize a new base game. One board-specific example is one already defined target attempt; success means the result meeting the duel’s posted target criterion, and reset means wait for equipment to stop and restore the same target for the opponent. Use that example only where the chosen base rules and venue already permit it; otherwise bind the overlay to a legal task in the selected activity before starting. Before each eligible turn, the player names the task and its success criterion aloud; the judge repeats the call. A verified called success earns exactly 1 separate challenge point, at most once per turn. An uncalled result earns no challenge point. Use only turns already allotted by the base game. Keep a separate challenge ledger, starting at 0 and ending with the base activity. Most challenge points wins; unresolved ties are shared. Main scoring is unchanged. If a compulsory rule conflicts, do not use the variation.

This card does not supply or authorize a new base game.

Use that example only where the chosen base rules and venue already permit it; otherwise bind the overlay to a legal task in the selected activity before starting. After an ordinary miss or stalled turn, the active player completes the stated reset. A neutral observer checks every reset step before restart. Award exactly 1 separate challenge point, at most once per allotted turn; do not deliberately create a miss to farm resets. Required safety stops never cost a point or use a replay token. Keep a separate challenge ledger, starting at 0 and ending with the base activity. Most challenge points wins; unresolved ties are shared. Main scoring is unchanged.

No challenge point is awarded merely for swapping. This variation adds no challenge points and no separate winner. End it with the chosen round or base activity; keep the base result and all scheduled opportunities unchanged. If a compulsory rule conflicts, do not use the variation.

For Skill Duel, keep it within target shots, head-to-head turns, precision calls, and clean resets. Scored results are tracked as challenge points. Optional house overlay for an already playable skill duel activity. First name that base activity and retain its complete equipment, people, safety, turns, main scoring and finish rules. This card does not supply or authorize a new base game. One board-specific example is one already defined target attempt; success means the result meeting the duel’s posted target criterion, and reset means wait for equipment to stop and restore the same target for the opponent. Use that example only where the chosen base rules and venue already permit it; otherwise bind the overlay to a legal task in the selected activity before starting. Before the game, name a binary tiebreak criterion for the last normally allotted turn: completion of the declared legal task. At a tied finish, compare those recorded final turns; a sole success takes the challenge tie. If both or neither succeeded, share the challenge result. Do not add an extra shot, strenuous rep, water task, or course delay. This never changes the base-game winner. Use this only to settle the stated challenge tie. Record the comparison separately; it never changes the base-game result. If the comparison is unavailable, equal or prohibited by the base rules, share the challenge tie.

Count consecutive completions of the same declared task across the player’s normally allotted turns. Before each next turn the player may bank the current count; add that count to the separate challenge ledger and start a new streak at zero. A miss resets only the unbanked streak. At the base game’s finish, bank any remaining completed streak. Each completed result can be counted once only; no extra turns are created. Keep a separate challenge ledger, starting at 0 and ending with the base activity. Most challenge points wins; unresolved ties are shared. Main scoring is unchanged.
