WAITING FOR A MIRACLE

# ⚔️ Mind Duel: Sword & Shield (Prototype)

**Mind Duel: Sword & Shield** is a fast-paced, psychological 1v1 turn-based battle where reading your opponent’s mind is the key to victory.

---

### 🎮 Gameplay Overview

Take turns attacking with your **Sword** and defending with your **Shield**. Predict your opponent’s stance to land a decisive blow or block incoming strikes:

- **Left / Center / Right** tactical directions.

- Direct hit = **1 Point** | Successful block = **0 Points**.

### ⚡ Unique 3-Phase Tournament Logic:

1. **Phase 1 (Standard Clash - 5 Rounds):** Attack & defend across 3 directions (Left, Center, Right).

2. **Phase 2 (Sudden Death - 5 Rounds):** If tied, every strike counts! The first player to gain a lead takes the round.

3. **Phase 3 (High-Stakes Dual Duel - 5 Rounds):** If still tied, the **Center direction is eliminated**, leaving only **Left & Right** for extreme mind games.

4. **Tie-Breaker:** In the rare event of a 15-round deadlock, the champion is decided by fate (Lottery Draw).
