  • Elimination of Players - In Duel of Ages: Set 1, player elimination is not permanent. When a character is defeated, they are removed from the board, but can return to the game at a later date. This keeps all players engaged until the end of the match, preventing anyone from being left out for too long.
  • Players with Different Skills - Each character has unique abilities that can influence the course of the game, promoting a diversity of strategies. For example, a character who is highly skilled in hand-to-hand combat can become invaluable in direct confrontations, while a stealth specialist can avoid ambushes or better exploit the terrain.
  • Team Play - The game is structured to encourage cooperation between players. Each team combines characters from different eras and universes, requiring strategic coordination. It's common to see players discussing which complementary skill will optimize the team's performance in specific challenges.
  • Movement in Grids - Using a hexagonal board, players move their characters from space to space, which adds a tactical layer to the game. Choosing the best route, considering terrain for cover or opting to avoid dangerous areas are decisions that shape the match.
