Asmodee – 7 Wonders Duel – Strategic 2 Player Card Game

7 Wonders Duel is an outstanding board game that is perfect for two players. The game is easy to learn, but provides endless hours of strategic play. The game mechanics are well thought out and each turn offers new challenges and opportunities for players to build their civilizations. The game components are of high quality, with well-designed cards and a sturdy game board. The rules are clear and concise, making it easy for new players to jump in and start playing. The game play is fast-paced and exciting, with players making decisions about which wonders to build, which resources to gather, and which military actions to take. One of the best aspects of 7 Wonders Duel is that each game is different. The wonder cards and the order they are played change with each game, offering a unique experience each time you play. The game also scales well, with different difficulty levels available depending on the skill level of the players. Overall, 7 Wonders Duel is an excellent board game that provides a challenging and enjoyable experience for two players. Whether you're a seasoned gamer or new to the hobby, I highly recommend this game. It's a great addition to any game collection and is sure to provide hours of fun.

I've never played the original 7 Wonders (which is 2+ players), but bought this to play with my partner - as it is a version of the original game which is specifically designed to work and function with just 2 players. I haven't previously been a big buyer of board games, but they don't come cheap. Even used on eBay/Amazon, you're going to be paying close to the new price you see here. But don't let that dissuade you. It's a good-quality game which we've continued to have fun with, even after 10+ times of playing it. You can see fantastic reviews of board games like this on YouTube if you're unsure, so I won't parrot which is already been said. However, from my perspective, as a complete newcomer to board games like this, I think it is: - Good-quality with playboard, coins, and cards (which are also aesthetically nice!) - Easy to learn. After one (or maybe two) playthroughs you'll have no issue. - Quick to play: After your initial games, you can play through this in 20-30minutes - easy. My only real gripe is that, after the first 5 or so games, the majority of them have begun to end in stalemates (which you then count up victory points). When you're both at your best, it seems far too easy to sabotage each other. Despite this, I still think it's fun (and is, frankly, the nature of card-games like this). Recommend if you're looking for an entry-level board game to play with a friend/partner. Lots of fun and decent amount of replayability to make it worth the money (they also resell on eBay/Amazon for decent rates if/when you get bored of it).

An absolute must have game! The game is relatively easy to pick up, but provides tonnes of replayability, strategy, and fun! There's several win conditions, and the random nature of the age set up, and wonder selection phases provide unique playthroughs, and prompt new strategies each time it is played. I've also played the Pantheon expansions, and that has equal production value, strategy and fun!

One of the best 2 player games. A bit of a learning curve but manageable and merits multiple plays.

7 Wonders: Duel is a standalone game for 2-players (it is *not* a 7 Wonders expansion). The game builds on the theme and some of the mechanics from 7 Wonders. It introduces some excellent 2-player gaming ideas and so 'ta da' a new game is born. It is excellent fun to play and is far better, in my opinion, than the 2-player variant in the original 7 Wonders. There is a real sense of suspense as each opponent watches the other's military endeavours and scientific progress. It's made much more dynamic, now that there are three game end conditions: (i) a race on military supremacy; (ii) a race on scientific supremacy and (iii) a civilian victory. Both (i) and (ii) are instant wins; (iii) kicks-in when all cards have been played and then it's time to add up the points to determine a winner (just like the original 7 Wonders). There is plenty of replayability. Each game is played with 8 wonder cards (from 12), 20 Age I cards (from 23), 20 Age II cards (from 23), and a combination of 20 cards for Age III (17 from 20 Age III cards and 3 from 7 Age III Guild cards). The game also introduces progress tokens of which 5 (from 10) are available in each game. This means that there is not too much randomness, but what little there is, is sufficient to ensure that no two games will be the same. The game is quick, 20 - 30 mins, and set-up is pretty fast, as is putting it away. My 8 year old picked up the rules fairly easily and can win without any assistance. This makes it a very approachable family game in terms of age ranges. Note: my 8 year old has played 7 Wonders many times and so the learning curve from there is very short and quick. Why only 4 stars? Well, the Age / Guild cards are much smaller than the original game (despite there being room in the box for bigger cards) and the icons they represent are also small and the icons showing their cost are smaller still. When the cards are overlaid in the Age set-up you'll see they would have taken up a huge amount of room if the cards were as per the original game, however, I'd have preferred lost table space vs. easier icon readability. I doubt that 7 Wonders: Duel will out-class 7 Wonders. However, it is an excellent 2-player version of the original game and if you have the original and are looking for a better 2-player variant then I definitely recommend it.

Great game for 2 players. Takes a newcomer some time to get to grips with the rules and strategy, but worth it

Great game, delivered even quicker than expected. Thank you, Lennies Toys.

Written as someone who went into this blind, without playing 7 Wonders before, this turned out to be incredibly engaging. One problem I've seen with this sort of game is the complex rules, so I played this with two people who had no experience in card games, or Tabletop games in general - my parents. Whilst they were a tad confused initially, by the end of the first game, they both got it, and really enjoyed later repeats. Really, the manual is kind of written in games lingo a little bit - and thus, it's probably good to have someone good at games (not as in monopoly or scrabble, but games similar to this) to explain it to you. But, once you get it, you've pretty much got it forever, and the random aspect of each game means you never quite now what strategy will work, nor do you ever really know who won until the game ends - however early that may be...

7 Wonders Duel s'est imposé comme notre jeu de société préféré à deux. Contrairement à beaucoup de jeux pour duo, celui-ci offre une vraie profondeur stratégique, avec plusieurs voies de victoire possibles : militaire, scientifique ou civile. Les parties durent environ 30 minutes, ce qui les rend faciles à enchaîner sans que ce soit trop long. Le matériel est de très bonne qualité, les cartes sont agréables à manipuler et les illustrations soignées. La règle est accessible rapidement même pour des joueurs peu habitués aux jeux de gestion, tout en gardant assez de subtilité pour rester intéressant après de nombreuses parties. Un excellent achat pour les soirées à deux, aussi bien entre adultes qu'en famille.

Great game, if you love 7 wonders or you'll like this.

An excellent two player strategy game, feels completely fresh after dozens of matches. You take turns choosing cards to take (or sell) to add buildings to your civilization, each with its own cost, requirements and benefits. You also have access to Wonders, which you choose from a pool of options at the beginning. They require a lot of resources and the sacrifice of a normal card in exchange for powerful effects. Over three rounds, you're aiming for one of three victory conditions, while trying to stop your opponent from doing the same: military conquest, scientific advancement, or simply having the highest score based on a range of factors of the first two weren't achieved. Once you get the flow of the game and are familiar with the card's functions, gameplay is fast and the three rounds pass in no time. The cards are beautifully illustrated and manage to communicate all the information needed in simple symbols, though there are also reference guides in the box if you need clarification. I've never played the original 7 Wonders to compare, but this is a seriously well-designed and elegant strategy game. From the first card draw, you always have to balance what you want with reducing opportunities available to your opponent. There's this constant to-and-fro tension which makes the “Duel” name very apt. No system in the game is complicated, and yet the strategy that emerges from it is: surely the mark of great design.
