Tesla vs. Edison: Duel

Tesla vs. Edison: Duel brings the famous "War of Currents" to the table in 15‑30 minute games, perfect for those who enjoy a fast yet strategic duel. Each player takes the role of one of the electricity titans – Nikola Tesla or Thomas Edison – and builds their own company, spreading projects across U.S. regions, pushing either alternating‑current or direct‑current technologies, and launching propaganda campaigns to win public favor. Simultaneously, you buy shares in smaller electric firms, trying to assemble the most valuable portfolio. The game blends deck, bag and pool building, hand management and open drafting, along with commodity speculation and area control, all flavored by each character's unique powers. Victory is achieved by mastering two of three main tracks: territorial control of projects, lead in the PR race, and highest stock value. Both sides also have a special auto‑win condition that can be triggered at any moment, adding extra tension. While it carries all the mechanics of the larger title, the duel version is streamlined for a light‑to‑medium weight, making it approachable for newcomers without sacrificing strategic depth. Ideal for two players who love historical themes, economics and quick tactical decisions.
