Duel of Ages 2 Review - with Tom and Melody Vasel

[@MarkCranerium]

I just realized I've been watching Tom Vasel videos for a DECADE.

[@Draygarth]

Just bought the full collector set can't wait to play it.

[@jaytodd7461]

Everything about Tom's shirt in this video is the greatest thing I have ever seen. Well done.

[@coachace123]

LOL, I just bought both DoA2 & DoA2 MS yesterday based on your earlier review. Can't wait for them to arrive!

[@socalnick]

i just got my copy this past weekend and played it for the first time. Wow! what a fun game! as melody said, it's like heroscape. however, it has much more detail and slightly more complex. if you played action figures when you were a child, this game is up your alley. in my first game, Annie Oakley shot and killed my KGB agent Boris from 100 yards away with her sniper rifle! how many games can you say that? Super fun game!

[@venom6149]

i played this game for the first time last night never really played many board games i normally play video games but OMG WHAT A GAME!!! i am obsessed with it and i can't wait to buy my own copy of the game but i will have to make do with playing it once a week with friends lmao honestly if u want to play a board game PLAY THIS!!

[@FMD-FullMetalDragon]

Longest component drop yet. :) I just got the Basic Set but will be getting the Master Set later on. There are no duplicate characters, to the person who asked.

[@RealEnglishNow]

Melody is such a sweet girl. Great to see daddy-daughter bonding. The Vassels seem like a wholesome family and I like that a lot. God bless them.

[@McNoat]

It's really cool that the included so many female characters! I really, really want this game. It seems like story telling in a box.

[@mechazookie]

I guess I'm going to have to find this on ebay. I want this game.

[@Hman27]

I've had DoA II sitting in my shopping cart just waiting for this review!

[@dabearz27]

Looks like a lot of fun, but the amount of little bits and components is kind of a turn-off to me at this point. Hopefully I'll get around to trying it someday though.

[@cook1tj]

I have this game, and it's really fun.

[@arichardson0972]

"...here's a seer, so you can see that..." I see what you did there.

[@neeleyfolk]

Picked up the original version at a Game auction, looks fun . Reminds me in a way of Philip Jose Farmer's RiverWorld Series.

[@SimplicitySingularity]

Still one of my all time top 10.

[@megamunga]

How do you compare this game complexity vs arkham horror complexity?

[@IgnacioGutt]

I will get it by December. At the rate this is selling out, I guess I will get a reprint.

[@baz2point0]

Haha, I couldn't wait and ordered a few days ago... feeling pretty good about that buying decision now :-D

[@Saxeh]

It's a 24 page rulebook.

[@rsamp2124]

No, there is no duplication between the sets except a few tokens. All of the characters and boards are unique.

[@klascom1]

I think I'm going to avoid this one because I'd feel a compulsion to search out plastic minis to replace the character tokens. And lets be honest, by the time I'd finish, they'ed probably be out with DoA 4 by then.

[@fmoros]

Thanks. Is this version also a 2 players/teams game? And would you still buy this today? I have jus found about this game.

[@newworld75]

fer yes, 2 teams, 1 to 8 players per team. I like it ... just not nearly as much as Tom.

[@AshesUndying]

By the time I would be done teaching it, my players would be bored. Waaay too much going on. I like complex games but holy crap.

[@TheManofDew]

Pretty sure that card isn’t a joke on Mr. Bean but of Maxwell Smart from the old but great show Get Smart. Just saying.

[@fixer10091994]

Can someone tell me how many pages the rulebook has?

[@ylwong4077]

Does both of the set contains duplicate characters?

[@skyorrichegg]

Mr. Bean as a secret agent is Johnny English... well maybe more Blackadder as a secret agent but still

[@joeyeti]

The component drop is massive :) But I would still enjoy putting it all back...

[@yu-chenlo1461]

I just hope there is a solo mode.

[@3lfbarf]

My main gripe has to be how inconsistent the art quality is. Some of the characters and items look great, but others are ugly 3D models.

[@mattdunham3338]

Jack Hammer you had one job!

[@RhinoBarbarian]

Want!

[@gmale9000]

Your daughter's got a great smile, Tom.

[@TrackerRoo]

Wish they'd either do another printing or do a third edition, hugely popular game and the guy, from what I've heard, just walked away from it because he is far too busy doing other things. License it out to another company and collect royalties maybe? I want this game but damn is it hard to find and pricey.

[@fixer10091994]

This is a really...big...game 0_0

[@paulamoss26]

oh.. crystal maze the game.... lol

[@huntergonfreecs]

Tom answered this in the podcast. It's gibberish; means nothing.

[@TRez5000]

Do you think this game would be too complex for a 9 year old who already plays Summoner Wars, Thunderstone, Smash Up, and Small World? Also, do you have any luck getting your wife to play this? I have a hard time getting my wife to play anything other than King of Tokyo.

[@theteamregal]

oh crikey this is one of the ugliest games ive ever seen. Shame cos the idea seems fun! But i'd rather keep my eyes unmelted
