One player uses Scythe rules and components (including a new faction and player mat); the other player uses Expedition rules and components (including a new mech, character, and companion). As long as you know one of those games and your opponent knows the other, you can play Duel of Meloch, and you don’t need anything other than Duel of Meloch to play this game.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe duel takes place in a tight space on a new double-sided map—only 10 locations and 2 lakes—in a race to 4 stars on a new double-sided Triumph Track, so every turn is crucial. The devious Meloch keeps the game close by giving a small boost to your opponent every time you place a star.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll existing Scythe factions, player mats, encounter cards, and factory cards are compatible with Duel of Meloch, as are all existing Expeditions mechs, characters, companions, and discovery cards (items, meteorites, and half of the quests). Likewise, the components in Duel of Meloch are compatible with Scythe and Expeditions: For Scythe, 3 new Factory cards, 6 new encounter cards, a completely new set of 60 combat cards; for Expeditions, 30 new discovery cards (items, quests, and meteorites).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComponents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScythe\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/scl\/fo\/ulyfze69rb24tsgip7mn7\/ALhNdGKImVk_E9PQU_y7Mxs?rlkey=0ejidzd7lktoa5hyrbkmy9xse\u0026amp;st=tyarsxrp\u0026amp;dl=0\"\u003e1 rule summary guide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20 resource tokens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 Factory cards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e60 combat cards (new design)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 encounter cards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 miniatures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e31 wooden tokens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 faction mat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 player mat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Power Dial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 alliance token and 1 home base tile (these are not used in Duel of Meloch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExpeditions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/scl\/fo\/ulyfze69rb24tsgip7mn7\/ALhNdGKImVk_E9PQU_y7Mxs?rlkey=0ejidzd7lktoa5hyrbkmy9xse\u0026amp;st=tyarsxrp\u0026amp;dl=0\"\u003e1 rule summary guide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Power Dial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12 corruption tokens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e15 workers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30 discovery cards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 starting cards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 mech miniature \u0026amp; 1 base snap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 wooden tokens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 mech mat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGlobal\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 double-sided rubber playmat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20 cardboard coins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9 map tokens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 double-sided Triumph Track\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10 Meloch cards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Tournament of Meloch sheet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 game box (310 x 192 x 73mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/scl\/fo\/ulyfze69rb24tsgip7mn7\/ALhNdGKImVk_E9PQU_y7Mxs?rlkey=0ejidzd7lktoa5hyrbkmy9xse\u0026amp;st=tyarsxrp\u0026amp;dl=0\"\u003e1 rulebook and 1 appendix\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSolo\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 progress track tile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Triumph Track overlay tile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20 Automa cards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 phase cards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 double-sided player aid cards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/scl\/fo\/ulyfze69rb24tsgip7mn7\/ALhNdGKImVk_E9PQU_y7Mxs?rlkey=0ejidzd7lktoa5hyrbkmy9xse\u0026amp;st=tyarsxrp\u0026amp;dl=0\"\u003e1 rulebook\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor sleeving cards, here are the card quantities and sizes: 9 cards at 70x110mm, 64 cards at 57x87mm, 69 cards at 63x88mm.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stonemaier Games","offers":[{"title":"Duel of Meloch","offer_id":48950420504793,"sku":"STM 672","price":48.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0348\/4221\/4459\/files\/DuelofMelochBoxFront3D.png?v=1784068007","url":"https:\/\/www.boardgamesdallas.com\/products\/duel-of-meloch-scythe-vs-expeditions","provider":"Common Ground Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
