The "olde" game of tavern duels is back! Created in 2006, this very simple and diverting game of wits depicts a typical tavern duel of the XVI century.
Inspired by the superb range of historical miniatures offered by The Foundry (http://www.wargamesfoundry.com/main.asp) and using a degree of historical accuracy about the duelling techniques of that era, Duel entices players to rediscover the perils of a XVI Century brawl.
As many of our play-testers know, before we created this game, we went through a whole lot of research and practical sword sparring (ouch!) in order to come up with something that is both true and simple. We wanted a game that would be diverting, but would not be entirely based on fantasy. Moreover, we wanted a game that would not depend so much on the casting of dice. So, though a certain degree of luck is involved - as in real life - ultimately, it will be your strategy during the game that will help you achieve victory.
Hence, Duel successfully recreates the lethality of fighting with cut & thrust blades and the necessity to keep your wits about yourself during the contest, whilst remaining true to its objective of becoming an entertaining and fortuitous game to be played over and over by you and your friends.
If you have not experienced the challenge yet, come meet your match in the most dangerous tavern of Morgangameshire.
