Description

The Duke: Robert E. Howard Expansion brings a fresh wave of excitement to the original game, introducing four legendary characters from the Robert E. Howard literary universe. Players can now embody the fearless Conan the Barbarian, the powerful Kull the Conqueror, the cunning Dark Agnes de Chastillon, or the virtuous Soloman Kane, each replacing a corresponding tile from the core game. This expansion maintains the core objective of capturing the opponent's Duke tile, while injecting a new layer of strategy and literary flair into the gameplay. With a playtime of just 30 minutes, this expansion is perfect for a quick yet immersive gaming experience. The normal complexity of the game rules makes it easy for board game enthusiasts to dive right in, and the grid movement, memory, card drafting, tile placement, and time track mechanics ensure a thrilling and dynamic gameplay. The expansion offers two ways to incorporate the new tiles, either through a draft selection process or by choosing to accept the expansion tile when drawn from the bag. Whether you're a fan of abstract strategy, fantasy, or just looking to spice up your gaming sessions, The Duke: Robert E. Howard Expansion is a great addition to the base game, offering a unique and captivating experience for 2 players.
