## Overview

## Description

In a realm steeped in arcane mysteries, two mages vie for supremacy. With ancient relics at their disposal and mystical creatures under their command, these two mages engage in a spellbinding duel of wits and strategy. Will you emerge as the ultimate conjurer, or will your opponent unravel the secrets of the arcane before you? Res Arcana Duo is a stand alone installment in the acclaimed series of Res Arcana games. Specifically designed for two players and offering a dynamic and quick gameplay, Duo offers a whole new set of Mages, Artifacts, Monuments and Places of Power. You can also use Res Arcana Duo as an expansion to Res Arcana or expand Duo with Lux et Tenebrae et Perlae Imperii for even more possibilities and strategies.

Review: Wonderful intro and addition to my favorite game - Res Arcana Duo is not only a great introduction to a wonderful engine building game, but works as an expansion should you make the right choice and purchase the original Res Arcana. I love the artwork and the theme. The resource tokens are wooden and feel satisfying to use. The box size is perfect for travel. I've taken it on several trips now. In the game you play for multiple rounds until someone reaches 10 victory points (or 7 for the first game) or more by the round's end. Each round is made up of turns where each player goes back and forth taking one action at a time. The place where this game shines is that each game is a little different from the next. You each only have 8 artifact cards in your deck and each player is working with different artifacts. You have to think on your feet to make your artifacts and other cards work together to form an engine that builds enough victory points to win the game before your opponent. It's so satisfying when things start to click. This version of the game has no 'take that', so it's casual and, though competitive, doesn't feel mean.
Review: Res Arcana Duo light and portable - Play by itself with two players for a light weight game. Add to the original game to increase complexity. If you already play the main game two players and like the weight just add it in. Or use this as a great travel game.
