    Got mine yesterday. My toddler helped me punch out all the pieces. Read the rule book this morning. Let me say, the rules in this version are clear and concise. The rule book is a thing of beauty. Easy to follow and great references and examples. Also, this campaign was handled beautifully. I still can’t believe how polished and smooth the whole campaign was handled and how quickly the game was delivered. Great job, everyone! Do you all have a timeframe for when the next boxes will be releases, and if they will be released as another campaign?

    I don't know what it would had cost with the minis included but I kinda wonder / think if / that would had been worth it. Also bought Duel of Ages II master set and only found out about this by looking for the 360 in case something had come out of that but this KS kinda make that a not happening thing which is kinda sad and somewhat annoying. This mean buying it again and yet without miniatures which who knows ... Maybe it doesn't pull the volumes of purchases to make it worth-while to make plastic miniatures, but if it made any sense then making it in bulk from the start seem like the most cost effective way. I don't know what 3D printed miniatures cost and what quality they achieve.

    Ooooof. I finally fulfilled a long pipe dream of buying Duel of Ages 2 with the master set. I get all excited and start looking up stuff about it while it ships... only to discover the 3rd edition is literally right around the corner. lol. Oh well. It does take the wind out of my sail about learning the deep complex rules of DoA2 if the streamlined version is right around the corner. With any luck I can still find a buddy to play it with me. :D Still... I know I'll end up getting the new edition.

    While I'll miss some of the stuff that has been streamlined away, this does look great. Assembling a random map in advance and then forming the right team for the map--rather than vice versa--is a great move, and I'm glad that you pointed out that it speeds things up by allowing the game to be set up before guests arrive.

    • @worldspanner6072

    @davidstahlerjr.7450 Рік тому

    Very fun to watch. I've actually always loved playing DOA2 on a smaller board with fewer platters, so this captures that vibe. More compressed play makes for more dynamic games in some ways, but the platters still feel expansive due to the art. Overall, love the new look of the game in terms of the board, characters cards, and character stands (yay!)--a big upgrade aesthetically. More streamlined, but I didn't feel like anything was really missing from the core experience. Looking forward to seeing how the market system works--didn't see that in play. Is the challenge deck in its final design?

    I haven't watched all the way through, yet, but I am curious - have you removed Op-Fire? It was one of the most fiddly and out-dated mechanics bred from much, much older games and it probably needed a trim.

      Yes, it's very much Duel of Ages II, except not, as follows: It's has tighter and faster play, there's much more interaction between heroes in a smaller space, the one-hero-per-space really pumped up the tactical decision-making, and all the fiddly rules have been systematically murdered.

    Excellent back and forth. A lot of what is being said would equally describe Duel of Ages II. I really hope this adaptation will give the same feel and then some. I'd love to say that I'm super excited about this but I'm still a Duel of Ages II fan and it feels like my all time favourite board game is supposed to be replaced by a condensed version. It leaves me feeling at edge. I will be buying this and will be glad, even eager, to share my findings on Board Game Geek. I'm still excited but with that sense of foreboding mixed in. Despite this, I understand this format is likely much more enticing for most players and the lower complexity and play time may well let me share the experience with those who weren't interested in that element of DOAII. Hopefully Factions will turn me too. I'm also very curious as to what Tom Vasel from The Dice Tower will feel about this adaptation of his once and longest reigning favourite game of all time. Thanks for taking the time to do this.
