The politics of the high court are elegant, shadowy and subtle. Not so in the outlying duchies. Rival dukes contend for unclaimed lands far from the king’s reach, and possession is the law in these lands. Use your forces to capture enemy troops before you lose the chance to claim the land for yourself. In The Duke, players move their troop tiles around the board and flip them over after each move. Each tile’s side shows a different movement pattern. If you end your movement in a square occupied by an opponent’s tile, you capture it. Capture your opponent’s Duke to win!

An tight combination of strategy and randomness When you first unbox The Duke’s gameboard, you might think that 6×6 tiles is surprisingly small for a game evocative of chess. Have no fear, the tightness of the board keeps this game heated and challenging.

Perfect example of what proper board game design should be. This is one of my favorite games of all time. The game is of top most quality in every way. There is a nice linen texture to everything, the pieces are very nice without any imperfections, just in whole the components are well made. The game itself is very enjoyable and unique. It is on par with chess, Easy to learn as well, you learn the very few basic steps to each persons turn and you learn the different types of movement, after that all you ever have to do is look at the pieces you use to…
