Lost Worlds
![]() |

Melee dueling books, licensed to hell and back, currently used in Japan for the Queen's Blade / Queen's Gate games.
Each player brings a book that describes a character. Each page of the book has the opponent's view of that character as the result of a manoeuvre. During play, each player simultaneously calls out a number that codifies the manoeuvre they wish to perform. They consult their opponent's book to see the result of their action and counter-action, and turn to the page that shows them what they see.
Since every book uses the same matrix of action/counter-action, any two books can be used with each other for duelling... even the books that have dinosaurs, Spider-man, 20-ton Battlemechs, Darth Vader, Tyranids, or huge-breasted succubi.
The original game system was designed by Alfred Leonardi.
