Two years ago we reviewed a terrific family board game called Kingdomino by Blue Orange Games.
Later that year, we reviewed a derivative game called Queendomino that’s also a lot of fun. It was the same game at the core but with a handful of new elements mixed in.
Then last year we reviewed an expansion for both games called Kingdomino: Age of Giants.
So it shouldn’t come of a surprise that when Blue Orange Games published a 2-player iteration of the game that revolves around dice, called Kingdomino Duel, we were chomping at the bit to give it a try!
And it’s time to tell you all about it!

Well, part of that might be true – because Quedlinburg is a town in northern Germany. But the game has nothing to do with ducks.
Instead, The Quacks of Quedlinburg is about miracle doctor “quacks” showcasing their healing remedies.
In reality, the board game is a fun press-your-luck, bag-building game where players compete in brewing the best potions.
