Duel of Meloch is a bold experiment that blends two beloved strategy board games together, but newcomers may get left behind
Duel of Meloch is a bold experiment that successfully blends the mechanics of Scythe and Expeditions into a standalone game, but it is most worthwhile for players who already own and understand both parent titles. While it offers a mechanically fascinating mashup and lovely components, newcomers will find the requirement to learn three rulebooks a significant barrier, and the game doesn't feel distinct enough to stand on its own.
