    I love that the game includes a tiny, ultra-simple wargame. Point-to-point movement, area control, and the absolute simplest of combat resolution. That seems about the right weight for a game that is mechanically more focused on other aspects of the game.

    • @nielsjensen6897
      @nielsjensen6897 Месяц назад +4

      I actually hate the map. It’s not area control because you don’t control to win. You just have to be there. It’s area presence, I guess. Also having the tie breaker basically be a sanded down part of one of the winning conditions makes no sense. This stays in my collection for now. But it’s a 6 out of 10.

    • @RichardArpin
      @RichardArpin Месяц назад +8

      ​@@nielsjensen6897 If you hate the map you may as well sell it now as it's integral to the game.
      Personally I love it, but I just don't see how you could keep it when despising a core aspect of the game. While not a 1/3 of the game, it's probably about 1/4 of the cards, and as it's an instant win condition it's gotta be part of your thought process on every turn.

    From playing it a couple times it feels like a streamlining and slight simplification of 7WD, thus making it more accessible, but still with a lot of tension.
    I think most people will prefer this version unless they’re really into 7WD with both expansions and/or are partial to the more involved economy and thus economic tension of 7WD (i.e., people who liked constantly calculating the changing resource costs based on how many of the resource players had and being able to effectively lock your opponent out of a resource, which is not possible here).

    I'm not actually fan of LOTR but I think the narrative framing of the story makes for a much more vivid experience than 7 Wonders' "build a vague amalgam of a civilization and at the end we'll do some math", and I ended up not buying it even though I really liked it. Seeing that this properly frames the "dueling" as a conflict while seriously improving the art and visual design made me instantly buy this. Thanks for the video 👌

      As a lifelong Tolkienist it’s both neat and endlessly infuriating to see how much the New Line LotR movies have forever changed LotR designs and art. There’s absolutely nothing pacific or D&D about the way Middle-Earth looks in my head. It’s a dying, quiet, dignified European place populated by peoples that don’t immediately scream stereotypes at you.

    I'm curious as to why you said you think you "were wrong" about 7 Wonders Duel, and if you can remember why you felt that game was "merely alright", but you think Middle-earth Duel is a banger and gets the recommended badge, while having very much the same mechanics as 7 Wonders Duel + its two expansions (re-themed and slightly tweaked, of course)?

    • @Healermain15
      @Healermain15 Месяц назад +34

      I think part of it was that the 7 Wonders review made eight years ago by people who aren't Matt. Quinns and Paul often prefer different types of games to Matt, so him having a very different experience with a game that many people already thought they were too harsh on the first time around isn't too suprising for me.
      The nicer presentation and theming probably helped it too.

    • @PatMullen13
      @PatMullen13 Месяц назад +11

      I wonder if this might be an example of how theme makes a big difference in board games. Perhaps the theme of Lord of the Rings was what was needed to bring Matt around to the 7 wonders duel mechanics? I definitely get that most people would be more excited about picking up Gandalf the Gray than a scriptorium or something. Although I personally do enjoy the theme of the original since it's basically civilization the card game. @@nikosmessis

    I absolutely love this game (also, before it, 7 Wonders Duel was my favorite game) but I must agree that card quality could be better, and if it's not (as it isn't) there should be enough space in the box insert for sleeved cards - which is not the case for both 7WD and this gem of a game. Still, best game, in the World.

    One of the things that bothered me most in 7 wonders duel was the lack of balance in the wonders. Guess what, there's no wonders in this game. Yeah there's the landmarks but they aren't drafted at the beginning of the game, you can race for them half the game so. Yeah, this is giving me really good vibes even when I find 7W and 7WD very overrated, will definitely give it a try!

    I'd always recommend Lost Cities for 2 people who don't really play board games, as its probably a bit simpler than this, but still has the delicious tension of choices throughout each round. However, this seems to me like something more enjoyable as a lighter, quicker game for 2 people who ARE boardgamers (and who like LotR). I didn't know this game existed before, but now I want it, even if it seems somewhat like a reskin of 7 Wonders duel.

    • @zacdredge3859
      @zacdredge3859 7 дней назад

      The game actually didn't exist before and precisely because it's a reskin of 7 Wonders Duel so there you have it.
      More than a reskin though as the map gives a different dynamic as far as payoffs go(notably the red and purple cards as well as locations directly interact with the Area Control fight which is the determining factor in a full-length game), the track is a race rather than a tug of war(progressing doesn't prevent your opponent achieving their respective win con) and the Racial abilities are different in both number(there's 6) as well as category(the last two, Ent and Wizard, are strong one time abilities which is why they only show in Act 3)

  • @Lazlowi
    @Lazlowi Месяц назад +5

    The shields are open information :) The ring track couldn't look like that, because the Hobbits can't get further from the Nazgul - the distance between them can only decrease. So if the Hobbits move, the Nazgul moves too, and to avoid forgetting that (like, if you have two cubes on a track) this is a particularly delightful solution.

      The track could look like Matt's mock-up with the win condition for Sauron being to reach the end-point - both sides have a win condition of "move a fixed number of spaces, regardless of how many the other side moves". The double-slide thing is a way to allow the thematic presentation of Sauron's objective be to catch a moving endpoint without their distance being affected - it's an important tool to allow the thematic presentation to work smoothly, but stripped of theme, it's just a fancy way of presenting two cubes moving up an identical track trying to reach the top first.

      @@TrevorJr26 I'm getting confused. Leonard argued, that it would work without the slidy thing, but it would lose the thematic spice that makes it fit in this game and reflect it's theme - which makes the fancy slidy thingy, imho, necessary. As if it looked different, it wouldn't fit the theme. I pointed out that he argued that it could look different from a strictly mechanical point of view, then argued that it couldn't, due to the thematic need of recreating the Nazgul chasing the Rigbearer part, and I think he covered everything, getting back to why it really needs to be this way and thanks for exhausting the topic. Where am I not right? What motivated you to comment?

      I don't think it's so extreme to suggest that you have to move two cubes at the same time. Alternatively, the track could easily be reworked very slightly to make it so you don't have to do that, e.g. one track for hobbits and one track for bad guys (I don't know LOTR). This is not a "required elegant solution" it's just a little bit of extra detail and budget they decided to put into the game.

    Wait, if you thought seven wonders dual was only OK, what's the difference this time? It really looks by enlarge to be the same game with a few different tweaks and obviously a different theme. Can you distill what you like about this so much more than the original?

      I never played the game, but out of this review I get the impression that both sides play the same game with the same cards and same rules. I think it doesn't feel right for a lord of the ring theme, because Lotr is fundamentally asymetrical: it's good vs evil, courage vs terror, elite heroes vs masses of orcs.
