Review: Addictive, easy to play but with a lot of depth - This was my first Duel game and as a lover of Lord of the Rings I couldn’t have picked a better one. Firstly it’s not too complex which allowed me and my partner to pick up and play quite quickly. It has a bunch of different victory conditions which adds to the depth and replay-ability. Great value for money as it’s now one of our go to games and gets tabled very frequently.
Review: A great game for 2 LOTR loving players - A great game for 2 people! My husband and I love board games and were looking for some 2 player games. As Lord of the Rings fans this seemed like a great choice. The first play can take a little while and you are learning all the rules but after that it's a quick and easy play. We would play about 3 times in an evening. There are also plenty of different tactics, so there's not to much danger of boredom due to knowing each other play style.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great game for 2 LOTR loving players

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic game! Quick to play and quite easy to learn
*by B***Y on 6 August 2025*

This is a really enjoyable game. It's pretty easy to learn and very quick to play once you get used to the rules. My wife and I managed to play 3 games in 2 hours the other day. The 3 different win conditions keep you on your toes as you've always got to be assessing what your opponent is doing, whilst also working out the best way to win yourself. My only issue was that the acrylic Ring Quest tracker was slightly misprinted, meaning it doesn't line up properly with the cardboard underneath. Its more an aesthetic issue though.
