Duel of Ages II board game (Worldspanner) WRSDA2

Although multiple styles of play are available, the standard DoA game-play involves seven phases:

1. Selection of each side's team of 8-12 characters (kept secret).
2. Building of the interlocking puzzle map to best suit your character's skills.
3. Selection of a Team White and a Team Black based on character Respect.
4. Revealing and equipping of characters.
5. Bringing characters onto the map based on Respect.
6. A sequence of game rounds where characters maneuver on the map to accomplish adventures, hunt enemy characters and avoid dangerous situations.
7. Counting of total achievements won. The team with the most achievements wins.

The game can end at a certain time or after a certain number of rounds.

Game play is an unusual mix of tactical wargame-style combat, treasure gathering, and non-combat character teamwork and adventuring, and has no close comparison to other games. Differences between characters are significant, with many having poor fighting skills. Game play and winning is therefore an act of balancing fighting, treasure-gathering and adventuring.

Select a team of characters. Overcome adventures and the enemy team to win favor, achievements, and ultimate victory. And while you are at it, enjoy the stories that your game builds.

NOTE: The guaranteed cut alignment on the punch boards in the game is 3mm. This is fine for functionality, but if you are seriously averse to aesthetic misalignment, you may not be pleased. Check with your OCD before purchasing.
