Guide
How to play
Chain Duel is a reaction game. Two players get the same targets for sixty seconds and the higher verified score takes the pool. No hidden dice, no client-trusted scores.

Fair play
Chain Duel never trusts a client-submitted score. You send your event log, the server replays it against the shared deterministic schedule, and impossible results are rejected before any settlement.
