Description
Furnace Duel is a thrilling 2-player game where you compete against your opponent for global industrial domination, and it's playable in both standalone and campaign modes. With a playtime of 30 to 60 minutes, this game is easy to learn and can be completed in under an hour, making it perfect for a quick gaming session. Designed by Ivan Lashin and Andrey Kolupaev, Furnace Duel is a follow-up to the popular Furnace board game, and it's packed with exciting game mechanics like Action Queue, Auction/Bidding, and Variable Player Powers. In Furnace Duel, you bid for Company cards, manage resources, and use your cards to gain the most money by the end of the 4th round. But what makes this game really interesting is the way you receive compensation - by claiming routes on the game board. The value of your disc shows how many times you can use the effects of connected Cities, and as your network grows, you gain access to new tracks and more lucrative Cities. Each of the 6 game boards has special rules and features, so you'll need to adapt your strategy to win. You can also upgrade your cards with city effects, and watch out for Shipping companies, which are one-shot cards that can change the game. In Campaign mode, you accumulate points for winning games and fulfilling Achievements, and the runner-up gets a bonus that gives them an edge in the next game. With its easy-to-learn rules and exciting gameplay, Furnace Duel is a must-play for fans of economic and industry-themed games. As a base game, it's a great starting point, and with the Furnace: Interbellum expansion available, you can take your gameplay to the next level. Whether you're playing in standalone or campaign mode, Furnace Duel is a game that will keep you on the edge of your seat, competing for industrial dominance and strategic superiority.
