Episode 31 - Gaming on the Go and Duel of Ages 2

In this episode, we're talking about the gaming we did on vacation. From games in the car to introducing relatives to the hobby, we cover it all before reviewing the absurd team-combat game, Duel of Ages 2!

Duel of Ages 2 is a team-based combat game which features such diverse characters as Geronimo and a Unicorn.

The are some of the "platters" that will make up the game board.

The game relies heavily on cards for items, adventures, and the resolution of tests.

The game at setup. Notice that the platters are locked together with "keys" which represent the team bases and various labyrinths around the map.

Some of the other tokens that come with the base game. You will not often need all of these tokens, as many are scenario specific.
