In a Templar stronghold, hidden in the Germanic moors, lies the power of the Black Rose.
Its catacombs house the mortal remains of the powerful and feared Ulrich, yet he is now no longer dormant. Many have tried to seize the secrets of his power, but so far, all have failed.
Now it is the turn of Bartholomäus, who aspires to become Master of Lex, a new school devoted to the occult, born in the heart of the Black Forest and spreading rapidly throughout the Holy Roman Empire.
Duel - Lex will take you into a magical world of forbidden spells and deadly evocations, where every ten years, different mages compete to decide who will be the next Grand Magister.

Duel - Lex introduces a new way to play fast and exciting two-player mage fights!
Two mages clash in the cramped underground rooms of a Templar stronghold, choosing and planning spells and actions from a common deck and managing their own evocations and resources.

Duel - Lex can also be used to expand Black Rose Wars and Black Rose Wars: Rebirth!

—description from the publisher

Great intro into the Black War Rose game system

This version is rules lite compaired to the full blown Black Rose War and is pretty easy to get to the table and teach. BRW Rebirth is more understandable if you digest this version first. It's a great 2 player dual that does not dissapoint and plays fast.

Great game!

A great shedding game where you play poker hands and power cards.

Nightfall Lite but Not Nightfall 2.0

If you liked Nightfall, but thought individual creature combat was too tedious? You'll probably like this.

If you liked Nightfall but thought the game was too slow to ramp up, or too long to finish/hand out all wounds, you'll like this.

If you thought Nightfall's "Private Archive" claims ended to overpower the game based on luck of the draw, you'll like Unchained's 3x3 market grid.
-----
As far as deck builders go, I like Unchained. It will take awhile to really know the card power combos. The symbols look overwhelming at first, but are kind of intuitive once you're used to how the cards work. Combat is total offense vs total defense and result is one fatigue (wound). So no MTG-ish "creature 1 attacks player B and creature 2 takes 3 wounds against player C." It does speed up and simplify the game a lot. The 3x3 card market is brilliant. You can get cards you want and/or clear out cards you don't want your opponents to get. Much more variety of cards to cycle through than 8+2 archives = 10 cards to choose from per game.

Solid 4/5 all around. I'd give 5/5 if there was a happy medium in combat between Nightfall and Unchained. Not as super simplified as Unchained, but not like Nightfall's individual cards combat. Maybe a power on some cards "stays in play after combat" so there's a larger chance of different strategies than "I punch you, you punch me, repeat"
