In the still-smoldering streets of Cardia's latest battles, a new force awakens: the Protectors. Duel pour Cardia: Protecteurs de la Nature (FR) brings twelve mythical guardians into the game, three per faction, watching over each duel and ready to flip its outcome in an instant. Every other duel, if you played a card from the matching faction, you can call on that Protector's power to change the current fight, revisit an earlier duel, or shape the ones still to come. Five new Locations add another layer of strategy to every match. Compatible with both decks from the base game and every existing Location, this expansion for Duel pour Cardia breathes fresh tension into your duels against the Ace of Cardia... or your favorite rival.

You'll probably love Duel pour Cardia: Protecteurs de la Nature if you already savor the tense duels of the base game and want to raise the stakes even further. This expansion is a great fit for players who like reading their opponent, bluffing at just the right moment, and feeling that a single Protector can flip a close match. If fifteen-minute games packed with psychological tension get your pulse going, you are exactly the audience this was made for.

Duel for Cardia has enjoyed a strong reception since its 2025 release, holding an average rating above 7.5 out of 10 on BoardGameGeek and a solid spot among the site's best two-player duel games. That popularity made it a natural candidate for a first expansion, one that is also available digitally on Board Game Arena, another sign of how much fans have embraced this fast-paced duel.

This expansion comes from the same creators as the base game, Faouzi Boughida and Mathieu Rivero, who continue building the world they started with Duel pour Cardia. The new Protectors and Locations are illustrated by Florian Herold, Qistina Khalidah, Ingram Schell, and Jonas Schmutzler, who bring the mythical guardians described in the rules to life.

To enjoy this expansion, you will need a copy of the base game Duel pour Cardia, available in the As des jeux catalog. Protecteurs de la Nature never stands alone: it grafts itself onto the original game's duels to give them a whole new tactical dimension.
