Description

The Duke: Reinforcements – City Troops is an exciting expansion to the base game, The Duke, designed by Bryn K. Bills and published in 2014. This expansion is all about mixing things up and adding some fresh strategy to the game. With City Troops, you get to introduce new troop tiles into the mix, replacing some of the original tiles with new ones like the Footman, Assassin, Champion, and Longbowman. The best part is that you and your opponent get to decide how to use these new tiles, choosing to replace some, all, or none of the original ones, and you can even have different sets of tiles in play. This expansion adds a new layer of depth to the game, which is already known for its abstract strategy and grid movement mechanics. The new movement icons also bring some interesting twists to the table, with non-capture move, jump, slide, and jump slide icons that follow similar rules to the originals, but with some key exceptions. With a playtime of just 30 minutes and normal complexity rules, The Duke: Reinforcements – City Troops is easy to learn and fun to play, making it a great addition to your board game collection. Whether you're a fan of the original game or just looking for a new challenge, this expansion is sure to deliver, offering a fun and strategic experience for 2 players.
