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).

Whenever the wife and I finish a game night and there's still time for just one more quick game of something, this is usually the game we pick. It takes about 30 - 45 mins to play and the setup / tear down is fast.Duel is easy to learn but the rules come in 2 formats, a book and a quick reference sheet. However they might as well have put everything in the 1 book because the quick reference is only partially useful and only shows some examples of a rule, whilst the remaining examples are in the rule book propper.However I'm nit picking, this is a great 2 player competitive game, quick to learn but with a good depth of strategy to it.The cards and components are of a good quality too and the box itself takes up very little shelf space.A keeper!

Takes a little bit of time to get the method and rules learnt, once learnt it's a captivating game. Build quality is good and all pieces were present

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.
