Description
In Overboss Duel, you and your opponent are rival Boss Monsters, battling it out to conquer the Overworld on a shared board. Designed by Aaron Mesburne and released in 2023, this game combines drafting, set collection, and tile laying with a dash of sabotage, all set in the retro-inspired pixel art world of Brotherwise Games' best-selling Boss Monster. With easy-to-learn rules, you'll be diving into the action in no time, drafting and placing terrain tiles and monster tokens anywhere on the board, even on your opponent's land. The goal is to craft the map with the greatest Power, while simultaneously messing with your rival's plans at every turn. You'll build your map by drafting a variety of terrain tiles, each with its own point value and unique ability. From Icy Peaks to Sunken Cities, and from Roads to Dungeon Entrances, each tile offers a different strategic advantage. Some abilities even let you move tiles across the overworld, allowing you to steal from your opponents or offload unwanted tiles. As you balance optimal placement, set values, and board space, you'll also need to manage your monsters, which award points when grouped together or placed on matching terrain. With a playtime of just 20 to 30 minutes, Overboss Duel is a fast-paced and engaging game that's perfect for a quick showdown with a friend. The game includes everything you need for a 2-player game, with over 65 terrain tiles, 80 monster and hero tokens, a double-sided board, and a scorepad. And if you're looking for even more challenges, you can expand your game with the Overboss Duel: Void Tile set. Whether you're a fan of puzzle games, fantasy, or video game themes, Overboss Duel has something for everyone, and its simple rules make it easy to jump into the fun. So gather a friend, get ready to duel, and see who will become the ultimate overboss.
