Watch It Played

r/boardgames

Hi welcome to watch it played. My name is Rodney Smith. In this video we're going to learn the two-player game, seven wonders duel designed by Antoine Bosa, Bruno Cthulhu and published by repo Productions and Asthma day. You may be familiar with the best-selling seven wonders which allows you to build a civilization from cards, and, although this shares some similarities, it is not an expansion

 As well as those on wonders that you've built and on any progress tokens you've collected and for each set of three coins, you gain one point. So we have five coins here, which means the player would get one extra point for those the player. With the most points, wins in the case of a tie, the player with the most points from blue buildings wins and if there's still a tie, both players win and that's how you play seven wonders duel. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to put them in the comments below and I'll gladly answer them as soon as I get a chance, but until the next episode, thanks for watching you 

 Here we take the age to deck and deal it out exactly as shown here on the rule book, so we've built a pyramid again, but this time it's upside down the player, who has the conflict pawn closest to their side of the board at this time? Has the weakest military and will choose which player begins the new age? If the pawn is in the center, then the player who played a card last in the previous age will first otherwise. The second age follows the same rules as the first and will end as soon as all of those cards have been used. At the end of the second age, you set up the third age cards, as shown on the back of the rulebook, and this creates kind of a circle type shape if the game doesn't end due to a player moving the conflict pawn to an opponent's capital or Through a player collecting six unique science symbols, then, at the end of the third age, the player with the most victory points is the winner and you can use the included notepad to help you calculate the scores. You gain points based on how far you've advanced the conflict pawn towards the enemy's capital

 At the end of the second age, you set up the third age cards, as shown on the back of the rulebook, and this creates kind of a circle type shape if the game doesn't end due to a player moving the conflict pawn to an opponent's capital or Through a player collecting six unique science symbols, then, at the end of the third age, the player with the most victory points is the winner and you can use the included notepad to help you calculate the scores.

In this case, the player here would gain five points for having pushed the pawn into this section of the board. You also add the points showing on your buildings like these here

7 Wonders Duel - How To Play

# The Best

**Parks** has a [storage tray](https://nerdsonearth.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/PARKS-Main-Insert-1024x768.jpg) that maximizes use of space with perfectly shaped slots leaving no question where to put each component. I also like that the plastic insert doesn't have an outer edge, which eliminates wasted space by using the walls of the box to keep components snugly in place. It also has 2 cleverly shaped [resource trays](https://cdn.thingiverse.com/assets/19/51/72/57/c5/featured_preview_10.jpg) that can be used both for storage and as resource supply banks on either side of the table during gameplay. The components fill the box to the brim, but you never have to strain to get it all to fit, making for a very satisfying setup and tear down experience.

# The Worst

**Rush N' Crush** shows a complete disregard for space efficiency both inside the box and on my shelf. You could fit 8 more copies of this game inside 1 box. When you open the box you are greeted by a mess of free floating road tiles. Once you fish all those out, you'll laugh at the [single, tiny nook](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DBLBEy3W0AEpuFz?format=jpg&amp;name=large) in the cardboard insert that holds the dice, cars, hazards, and other tokens.

What are the best and worst storage inserts you've seen?

What games have the best and worst storage inserts?

 Neither of us enjoyed the wins.  2 stars because we got around 20 games out of it before realizing the flaw.

After 30+ gameplays, Duel has huge loopholes

 I guess each age of the game and i also really like the combination between you, trying to figure out what you're building for your civilization while at the same time putting stumbling blocks and obstacles in front of your opponent throwing away cards. They need making it hard to get for them to get the things they need. So it's kind of like you, have your own strategy, but you're also needing to look at your opponent and what they're trying to do - and i think that adds another layer to this game that i personally find pretty fun. Another really important aspect of this game is that there are seven wonders that can be built, but each players dealt four different wonders, which means one is kind of gon na get screwed over and that's just a part of the game, so i've i've always thought that Was very fun now the biggest con we have for this game is basically we mentioned that there's three different ways to win, but they're, not all as equally likely

 That'S just a plus for any game, especially when you are busy at times. The game is also really replayable, because there's a lot of randomness to where different items are placed in each stage of the game. I guess each age of the game and i also really like the combination between you, trying to figure out what you're building for your civilization while at the same time putting stumbling blocks and obstacles in front of your opponent throwing away cards. They need making it hard to get for them to get the things they need

 So i do like that nuance thing where you have to look out for your opponent, but it's also a little bit annoying that it's not really that viable to win in the other two ways. Yeah so overall i'd say it's relatively simple: the entire game um, the military aspect i, which i wish it was a little bit more juicy than it is, but you know it's just basically moving a little tracker and maybe sometimes you'll make them lose coins. You can kind of track what your opponent wants to do. So those are our main thoughts for seven wonders duel

7 Wonders Duel Review and Summary

My Significant Opponent and I played **7 Wonders Duel** a few times. We just didn't like it as much as Regular **7 Wonders** with the two-player dummy-hand variant. We haven't played **Puerto Rico** in years because it doesn't work with two players and whenever we are playing with more people there are other games we'd like to play more… and looking back on it with a critical eye towards the theme, I'm not really comfortable pulling it out at all anymore.

Here's one: what are the #1 and #2 highest ranked games on Board Game Geek that you used to love but no longer play? Either because you've become board with them, feel like you've solved the puzzle, or are just taking a break from them, which excellent games sit on your shelf but are currently destined to just stay there?

For me, #1 is **Azul** (#55). I love it, but I never pull it down any more because for the most part, I feel like I've solved it. I still enjoy it, it's still highly-ranked on my personal list, but I don't often pull it down any more unless I want to show it to people who haven't played it.

My #2 is **Pandemic** (#105). I've played this game to death and it's still a great co-op game but to me it's been surpassed by so many other great co-op games. But I can't bring myself to send it on to its next owner because I feel like every board game collection should have a copy...

Highest rank games on BGG that you no longer play?

Lots of fun for all ages!

 Now, if it ever gets to the end of your opponent, you automatically win the game, so you have to keep a watch on that also, as it hits different tiles down here, your opponent will have to lose money when it hits those, and you will get points At the end of the game, if the game doesn't end for military based on where this is the other way to automatically win is throughout the game, there are different science cards with science symbols on orders like one here in this disk care law. If there are seven different symbols scattered throughout the game, if you ever control six of those symbols, you automatically win the game. Finally, the way that many games will end is, after the third age, you'll simply add up all the points that your cards give. You points for this track points on the cards like you'll notice

 There are three ways to win: you'll notice is a military track here. Whenever you take a military card, it will have a certain number of military symbols on it, and you will push to track that far towards your opponent. Now, if it ever gets to the end of your opponent, you automatically win the game, so you have to keep a watch on that also, as it hits different tiles down here, your opponent will have to lose money when it hits those, and you will get points At the end of the game, if the game doesn't end for military based on where this is the other way to automatically win is throughout the game, there are different science cards with science symbols on orders like one here in this disk care law.

Miami Dice, Episode 181 - 7 Wonders Duel

Also, **7 Wonders Duel** has a lot of game for a mini box, though part of that is because it uses cards that are in my opinion, too small. I don’t own it yet - it’s at the top of my list - but the *the red cathedral** is also another small.

 Big games in little packages. Or at least bigger than what the box size would lead you to believe.  
 

A few caveats:  
 No legacy games have been included (cause you can throw them out when you are done)  
 No expansion content is included. Base game's are the only ones that count.  
 No dexterity games are included.  
 No abstract games have been included because most of the good ones (hive, chess, etc) hit above their box size.  
 These are also the games that I have had the chance to play. So games like Glory to Rome that I imagine would make this list will be absent.

[**Merv: The Heart of the Silk Road**](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/306040/merv-heart-silk-road) 

For a game that comes in a smaller than ticket to ride size box, I was not expecting the crunchy brain burn I experienced while playing this game. For a game that might give a few Lacerdas a run for their money, this game takes up a surprisingly small amount of space (when packed into the box). I particularly also enjoy the 2 player game where players control a dummy player to handicap their opponent. This game is a hidden gem for me and I really think it didn't get the buzz it deserved.

[**Pax Pamir: Second Edition**](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/256960/pax-pamir-second-edition) 

For the amount of strategic complexity this game offers this game could have been a euro twilight imperium 5. Maybe the biggest game to size difference on this list.

[**Dune**](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/283355/dune) 

Another sub ticket to ride size box, the GF9 edition has this behemoth of a game in an compact (and affordable) size. Don't even feel bad that I've barely even played it.

[**Targi**](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/118048/targi) 

One of the only small boxes on this list, Targi has a lot of the core crunchy decision spaces that I enjoy in Merv. As an added bonus its in a smaller box size, only for two players and plays faster.

[**Paladins of the West Kingdom**](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/266810/paladins-west-kingdom) 

Most of the games in this series could fall into this list. I picked the one I think had the biggest game in it. I will however say that I wish these came in bigger boxes so I didn't have to play tetris every-time I was packing up the game.

[**Tichu**](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/215/tichu) 

For a game of basically a deck of cards, this game has a surprising amount of replayability, strategy and cooperation (this also has me thinking a basic deck of cards could be the king of this list)

[**Res Arcana**](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/262712/res-arcana) 

A surprisingly versatile game with a very small footprint. Some of the iconography makes it harder to learn initially but that factors into how they managed to keep the game so small.

[**Trickerion: Legends of Illusion**](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/163068/trickerion-legends-illusion) 

Hear me out. For the size of the base game, this game has a ton going on. One of the first "heavy" board games I attempted to play I would still consider this heavy.

[**Praga Caput Regni**](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/308765/praga-caput-regni) 

You really won't understand how much is in this game until you pick it up (or unbox it). So much euroey goodness in a standard box. Not a fan of the setup and teardown though....

[**Brass: Birmingham**](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/224517/brass-birmingham) 

One of the meatiest economic games ever, the form factor of the roxley edition is truly top notch and the production just makes you want to play it even more.

&amp;#x200B;

&amp;#x200B;

As a companion list to the above, I wanted to show the other side of the story. Mind you I love every one of these games and would play them in a heartbeat. I just think that the shelf space they take up for the amount of game they have isn't ideal.

  
 [**Abyss**](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/155987/abyss) 

I love this game. But it really feels like an overproduction of a simple card game. It isn't the biggest offender on this list but it's one of the first that comes to mind.

[**Dice Throne: Season One ReRolled**](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/291794/dice-throne-season-one-rerolled) 

This one on the other hand might be the biggest offender. I love the simple gameplay and I have yet to find someone that hasn't enjoyed playing this game. But you'll want several characters for the variety and the size of the box is huge for what I would describe as advanced combat Yahtzee.

[**Vindication**](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/224783/vindication) 

A great game but my favourite way to play has been with just the base game... and that means you aren't using what is in half of the box (miniatures).

[**Mysterium**](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/181304/mysterium) 

Would I change anything about this game if I were to publish it. Probably not. But that doesn't mean that this isn't a light game with incredible art and table presence without much "game" as it were.

[**Don't Get Got!**](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/262547/dont-get-got) 

A fun micro game to play in the background of game night. But on a complexity scale it's pretty low. It should have come in a box the size of a deck of cards.

[**Lost Ruins of Arnak**](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/312484/lost-ruins-arnak) 

This is a glorious production and I actually give this game extra points for being this grandiose and beautiful. But in terms of gameplay its lighter than most worker placement games that come in a standard ticket to ride size box.

[**Mansions of Madness: Second Edition**](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/205059/mansions-madness-second-edition) 

As a base game, more than half of this box is air. It isn't as replayable once you've gone through the (way to few) scenarios that come right out of the box. From a gameplay perspective, more is offered in Arkham Horror LCG which isn't even a quarter of its size.

[**Rococo: Deluxe Edition**](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/296100/rococo-deluxe-edition) 

I wish that I got the original Rococo. I love the game regardless but this one (although pretty) doesn't justify the shelf space and price tag it demands. Beats paying out of print prices I guess.

[**Mechs vs. Minions**](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/209010/mechs-vs-minions) 

Fun game. Exceptional production and value even if it released today. But for the depth of complexity I don't think it justifies being one of the biggest (non kickstarter) boxes ever produced.

[**Yedo: Deluxe Master Set**](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/281466/yedo-deluxe-master-set) 

A fun cutthroat approach to worker placement and recipe fulfillment.... but that box though. To be fair this is a deluxe set that has a ton of add on expansion content but if this is the only way to get the game then it belongs on this list.

&amp;#x200B;

What did I miss! Feel free to add to the discussion below.

Hear me out. For the size of the base game, this game has a ton going on. One of the first &quot;heavy&quot; board games I attempted to play I would still consider this heavy.

You really won&#39;t understand how much is in this game until you pick it up (or unbox it). So much euroey goodness in a standard box. Not a fan of the setup and teardown though....

One of the meatiest economic games ever, the form factor of the roxley edition is truly top notch and the production just makes you want to play it even more.

As a companion list to the above, I wanted to show the other side of the story. Mind you I love every one of these games and would play them in a heartbeat. I just think that the shelf space they take up for the amount of game they have isn&#39;t ideal.

<a href="https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/155987/abyss">Abyss</a> 

I love this game. But it really feels like an overproduction of a simple card game. It isn&#39;t the biggest offender on this list but it&#39;s one of the first that comes to mind.

<a href="https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/291794/dice-throne-season-one-rerolled">Dice Throne: Season One ReRolled</a> 

This one on the other hand might be the biggest offender. I love the simple gameplay and I have yet to find someone that hasn&#39;t enjoyed playing this game. But you&#39;ll want several characters for the variety and the size of the box is huge for what I would describe as advanced combat Yahtzee.

<a href="https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/224783/vindication">Vindication</a> 

A great game but my favourite way to play has been with just the base game... and that means you aren&#39;t using what is in half of the box (miniatures).

<a href="https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/181304/mysterium">Mysterium</a> 

Would I change anything about this game if I were to publish it. Probably not. But that doesn&#39;t mean that this isn&#39;t a light game with incredible art and table presence without much &quot;game&quot; as it were.

<a href="https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/262547/dont-get-got">Don&#39;t Get Got!</a> 

A fun micro game to play in the background of game night. But on a complexity scale it&#39;s pretty low. It should have come in a box the size of a deck of cards.

<a href="https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/312484/lost-ruins-arnak">Lost Ruins of Arnak</a> 

This is a glorious production and I actually give this game extra points for being this grandiose and beautiful. But in terms of gameplay its lighter than most worker placement games that come in a standard ticket to ride size box.

<a href="https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/205059/mansions-madness-second-edition">Mansions of Madness: Second Edition</a> 

As a base game, more than half of this box is air. It isn&#39;t as replayable once you&#39;ve gone through the (way to few) scenarios that come right out of the box. From a gameplay perspective, more is offered in Arkham Horror LCG which isn&#39;t even a quarter of its size.

<a href="https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/296100/rococo-deluxe-edition">Rococo: Deluxe Edition</a> 

I wish that I got the original Rococo. I love the game regardless but this one (although pretty) doesn&#39;t justify the shelf space and price tag it demands. Beats paying out of print prices I guess.

<a href="https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/209010/mechs-vs-minions">Mechs vs. Minions</a> 

Fun game. Exceptional production and value even if it released today. But for the depth of complexity I don&#39;t think it justifies being one of the biggest (non kickstarter) boxes ever produced.

<a href="https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/281466/yedo-deluxe-master-set">Yedo: Deluxe Master Set</a> 

A fun cutthroat approach to worker placement and recipe fulfillment.... but that box though. To be fair this is a deluxe set that has a ton of add on expansion content but if this is the only way to get the game then it belongs on this list.

Good two-player implementation

4. 7 Wonders Duel; this was in practice just like splendor, it was engaging strategically and we just wanted to play a lot of back to back games as our competitive spirits clashed.
