The final big change that Duel has compared to vanilla 7 Wonders is that each player has the ability to build up to four wonders each. It turns out that the banker’s ridiculous money bonuses may have roots in hoarding all of the brown resource cards… It’s sort of reminiscent of the current European banking crisis. If your opponent already has the resource you need you must pay the bank even more to be able to use that resource. Instead of being able to pay adjacent players for their resources, you instead pay the bank (which stocks everything apparently).

Fortunately the lovely people at Repos Games gave her another free of charge without even correcting her terrible broken German.Īs the game is now two player the trading mechanic has had to change a little bit. The special Essen edition of this game came with a pewter war meter marker which Briony lost while wandering around the convention centre in a haze of excitement. In a similar way to science, military domination now has the ability to straight up win the game if the marker is pushed to the end of your opponent’s side of the meter. The meter is split into several stages which rack up victory points for the player pushing it up and negative consequences for the opponent. Instead, there is a war meter which rises or falls when a player plays a military card. Moreover on the topic of addressing the weaknesses of 7 Wonders there is now no longer a war at the end of each era.

‘My major is how to be a dick, minoring in winning this game. ‘This is the third research token you’ve got… are you researching how to be an asshole opponent?’ This gives science an edge that it previously didn’t have in 7 Wonders, even though it was a useful mechanic for generating a tonne of points at the end of the game. Obtaining all 6 different symbols of the science cards straight up wins the game there and then, meaning that no other points are counted at the end. Tokens have a whole range of perks that span from straight up victory points, to making your wonders significantly cheaper to construct. Consequently there is now a ‘research system’ in place for science, which means that if a player builds two science cards with the same symbol at the top they unlock a piece of research, i.e. The game is so good is because it actually looked at some feedback from 7 Wonders, such as ‘how the fuck does one score science without an app’, and actually addressed the problems. Shush Bob!ħ Wonders: Duel is simply a two player version of 7 Wonders. She’s generally considered to be wrong, though.
Bob thought it was a bit unnecessary and not particularly rewarding. In hindsight she was utterly right, and around 66% of team Misery also ended up buying the game before the end of the convention. Bob, it should be said, is not included in this number. In fact she bought it probably about 23 minutes after the gates first opened. This was the first game that Briony bought during Essen. The first game of the morning was 7 Wonders: Duel***. If approached without coffee loose 2 sanity. The seething fleece mass: Evade roll (-1). A living room now filled with blankets, coffee, painkillers, cheese toasties, and the occasional ‘Oh god my head, why is it so fucking bright?’ became the domain of Call of Chthulu’s lesser known Ancient one: The seething mass of fleece blankets whose singular goal was to play some games. Enough time had elapsed since returning to forget what board gaming was like at a convention**, and be able to put the new purchases into a living room setting. Logically they decided that now was probably the most opportune moment to re-play through the games Briony had bought at Essen*. She and her punk boyfriend Pat were screamingly hungover after celebrating Gord’s (from team Misery during Essen) birthday the night before. Sunday morning has been a rather slow start for Briony. As with 7 Wonders, someone may be more placid or war-y than the average. This is because it’s a two player game that pitches you against an opponent.
