Duell (game)

Duell, also published under other names, is a two-player board game played with dice on a board of 9×8 squares. Players take turns moving one of their dice in order to capture their opponent's pieces, with the ultimate aim of capturing the opponent's key piece to win the game. It is considered a chess variant.[1]

Designed by Geoffrey Hayes, it was previously published in the UK by Denys Fisher (1975) as Conquest and The George v Mildred Dice Game and in Germany as Tactix, in the US by Lakeside Industries as Duell and in Portugal by Dinamização/ASA as The O Game.
