So far, I’ve mostly been writing about games I like, and unfortunately, Duell is not one of them.
The game is basically a card game, though you have a simple game board as well. The objective of the game is to be the first player to win five rounds, and you win a round by landing your piece on top of your opponents.
When playing the game, you hold five cards in your hand, and on your go, you play a card and move your piece that number of moves backwards or forward. You may not move into your opponents half of the board, and you can’t move backwards and forwards in the same go. If you are able to move on top of your opponent, you win the round, unless your opponent can counter your move by playing a card with the same number.
There’s a few special rules as well, but they don’t do much to make this game more fun. It’s not a really bad game, it’s just that it gets quite boring quite quickly. It feels like it’s a bit too random, and I think that if there had been a stronger element of strategy, it would have been much better.
