About the game
The Barrage: Duel expansion includes a new map specifically designed for 2-player games and the Duel board, which provides a new mechanic that enhances the 2-player games experience. Barrage Duel can be played in two ways: you can simply use the new map to have more competition in 2-player challenges, or you can use the Duel board along with the other additional components. This last option changes the rules of the game! The new map has fewer basins, and some building spaces will cost more. These spaces will change from game to game, always creating variety in this map. The Duel board adds three conditions on which to compete with your opponent, different in each game. At the end of each round, the player who best satisfies a condition will move the relative marker to their side. Mark the opponent tightly on each condition; otherwise, they will get decisive advantages! You need the base game Barrage to be able to use it. You can also use the Barrage: Leeghwater Project expansion in combination with this expansion. —description from the rulebook

Questions and answers
Přehrada: Duel supports 2 players according to the catalogue. This is the publisher’s listed player count, so the game is designed for exactly that number of participants. Variants for other group sizes, if any, are described in the rulebook of your edition, so check it before setting up a different configuration.
The listed playing time for Přehrada: Duel is 120 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Přehrada: Duel for ages 13 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Přehrada: Duel has a complexity rating of 3.7 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-weight game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
Přehrada: Duel belongs to these categories: Economic, Industry / Manufacturing, and Expansion for Base-game. Its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers, Income, and Ownership. Categories describe the theme and setting of a game, while mechanics describe what players actually do on their turns. Each mechanic links to a catalogue hub with similar games, which helps when you want something comparable.
The credited designers of Přehrada: Duel are: Simone Luciani and Tommaso Battista. These credits come from the published game data and name the people responsible for the game’s design, not its illustrators or publishers.

The catalogue lists Přehrada: Duel as an expansion for Barrage. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need Barrage to use it. Check that your edition of Barrage is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
