Duel (fan expansion for Dominion)

Description

--- "Duel" is an unofficial fan-made Dominion expansion introducing cursed power, life-risking mechanics, and dueling warriors for heightened competitive stakes. Key mechanics include: - *Curse tokens and Life Points* A new win condition where curses reduce Life Points; alternatively, each token deducts -1 VP. - *Advanced Curse Deck* Expanded deck for gaining curses via warrior effects or reactions. - *Warrior Cards* Attack/Action/Reaction cards with strength ratings (1-10) featuring unique actions and common curse infliction on opponents. - *Action resolution* Warriors provide specific bonuses (e.g., Gain Silver, +1 Card/+1 Action) before forcing opponents to gain curses. - *Duel mechanic* Warriors react to opponent Warriors; higher strength wins, triggering unique results. - *Component requirements* Needs Dominion's Treasure, Victory, Curse cards, Trash, and 10 Kingdom sets. Duel is an unofficial fan-made expansion for Dominion, unaffiliated with its creators, where cursed gold ties players' victory points to life points, escalating risks in empire-building. Players wield powerful but self-damaging abilities and hire mercenaries via new Warrior Cards—multi-role cards (Attack/Action/Reaction) rated 1-10 in strength. As Actions, Warriors deliver unique effects (e.g., gaining Silver or +1 Card/Action) then force opponents to draw from an advanced Curse Deck or play Reactions, gaining curses that deplete Life Points (new win condition) or yield -1 VP each. As Reactions, Warriors duel rival Warriors, with the stronger prevailing and enacting card-specific outcomes, potentially cursing losers. Mercenaries enable havoc on foes but rebound curses if overpowered, demanding calculated gambles amid base Dominion setup using Treasures, Victories, Curses, Trash, and 10 Kingdom sets. ---
