Dungeon Duel is a board game released in 2018 for 2 players, 20–40 minutes per game, and ages 10 and up. It was designed by Zong-Ger(蔥哥) and its main mechanics are Set Collection and Open Drafting.
Dungeon Duel is a two-player game in which players recruit warriors, look for weapons, hunt monsters, advance the level of their characters, learn magic, and set traps to stop your opponent. At the beginning of the game, each player may choose one of the three characters. They have a variety of abilities, including enhancing your attack, increasing self-healing ability, gaining section action, and having different ways to win the game. Taking good advantage of the combination of the characters is the most important challenge of the game. In this game, a player wins immediately by meeting one of the following victory conditions: A player's soul level exceeds their opponent's by four or more. A player accumulates six different elements. The opponent’s HP is reduced to 0. If neither of the players meets any of these victory conditions before the last card on the third floor is resolved, the game enters the final scoring phase, with the player who has the highest soul level winning the game.

Dungeon 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 Dungeon Duel is 20–40 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 Dungeon Duel for ages 10 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.
Dungeon Duel has a complexity rating of 2.3 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light 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.
