I fell in love with the concept of this game since my first look at it on the Party of 1 podcast where Jess and Jeff had a go at it.
Duels are a beautiful work of art in fiction. They engage the audience in a bout of back and forth tension, and lead to such interesting character development.
This game is the opportunity for you to fulfill that story yourself, enter that Duel's place in a fictional history as one full of quips and fun hijinks and shenanigans between foes of any ilk. Anywhere from a fun argument between friends to a lethal duel between enemies, this game creates the template for any scenario where 2 people go head to head and the mechanics of Thrust, Parry, and Feint make for a fair and genuinely thrilling experience.
You never know what's going to happen until it does. Find out what happens leading up to your climactic duel, or who wins the argument in a debate on if hot dogs are sandwiches(they aren't). The stakes are yours to set.
