Scythe vs. Expedice - Melochův duel

Product detailed description

Two worlds, two different game systems, but only one victory! Melochův duel is an unprecedented design experiment that pits the heroes of the legendary strategy games Scythe and Expedice (the Czech board game Expedice, published by Albi) directly against each other for the first time in an uncompromising duel.

How to play: Will heavy industrial machinery triumph, or will the daring exploration expedition prevail? One player takes command using the rules of Scythe, while the other sets the pace with the mechanisms from Expedice. The whole epic conflict is compressed onto a tight new double-sided map with only 10 locations and 2 lakes – forget long manoeuvring, here every single move matters and the first clash happens before you can catch your breath.

This unique strategy game is designed for 1 to 2 players aged 14+, and a brisk session takes around 45 minutes. A huge bonus is its total versatility – you can play Melochův duel as a standalone game, but it also works as a full expansion for both original board games. Do you already own Scythe or Expedice at home? Then you'll love the two-way compatibility – all previously released faction boards, mechs, characters and most cards can be taken straight from those games and used here without any problem. If you don't have an opponent handy, the elaborate Automa mode offers a great challenge for a single player.

Travel to an alternate version of the 1920s and decide who gains dominance over the new territory! All game components are in the Czech language.
