Game overview: Duell is marketed as Parker Brothers 'Head-to-head' Dice Strategy Game. Each player controls nine over-sized dice on a 8x9 board and in turn moves one of their dice the number of spots indicated by its uppermost face. Movement is carried out by 'tumbling' the dice from space to space. Opponent's pieces can be captured by landing on them with an exact count. Players also have a key piece (a die marked with a star on each side) which can only ever move one space at a time. The game is over when one player's key piece is captured, or a key piece moves onto the opposing player's key space (the key piece starting square).
Game is rated for 2 players aged 10 years and above.
Condition: Game pieces are in EXCELLENT! and seemingly little-used condition as is the board and storage insert. Game box shows MODERATE! shelf wear with a broken corner on the lid and rub to the edges. There is a blemish on the side of the game box from what appears to be old price tag removal and a wee blemish to the back of the box. Game graphics - those great Parker Brothers' 70s game graphics! - are bright and vivid and text is clear and legible with LITTLE TO NO! fading apparent.
