Versión muy mejorada del 7 wonder duel sin contar sus expansiones. La temática está muy bien implementada y el arte es una gozada.

El mejor juego para dos, hasta ahora... La posibilidad de ganar de tres formas distintas aporta tension y toma de decisiones divertidas, si bien hay un punto de azar en las cartas que se van revelando. Recomiendo para partidas rapidas de a dos y si te gusta el universo de TLOR, es un obligado en la ludoteca

Is one of the best games for 2 people, does not take too time, once you understand the rules is very easy and fast to play. The components are super nice and the mechanic is great. One of my favorite games for 2 people.

Soy fan de los 7 wonder y siempre pensé que nada podía mejorar el 7 wonder duel... Craso error... Este juego es perfecto... Imprescindible....

Prefiero 7 Wonders Duel, me resulta más gratificante que al final de la partida se valoren las diferentes cosas que he ido desarrollando y que no se resuma todo (en caso de no haber ganado por desatar el final en otra cosa específica) a la presencia en el mapa de tropas que tengas. Me parece precioso y super bien tematizado, pero no me gusta la sensación final de juego.

The element of area control, the components of the "Quest for the ring" track and the way of earning green bonuses, make it a really different experience from its succesor. Awesome game.

Hacía mucho tiempo que no me llevaba tan buena impresión en una primera partida. Es imposible describir este juego y no hacer referencia al 7wonders, puesto que comparten buena parte de las mecánicas, pero incorpora además un mapa donde los jugadores luchan por la dominación y un doble track para la persecución por parte de sauron a la comunidad. Una delicia de juego. Tres formas de victoria: Dominación total del mapa, captura de la comunidad o llegada a mordor y obtención de los seis símbolos de aliado. Altísimamente recomendable. No descarto hacerme con él. Edito: Me lo acabé comprando en l
