Splendor vs Splendor Duel - which is better?
Splendor vs Splendor Duel - which is better?
I heard a lot of people say that the Duel variant is the better game.
There is also 7 Wonders or Agricola with full games and duel version. Which one do you prefer?

Not personally a fan of 7 Wonders, while I enjoy drafting as a mechanic I don't feel like it has enough heft to make an entire game out of it.
I LOVE 7 Wonders duel! The gameplay and decision trees get really interesting, and especially playing against the same opponent repeatedly whole metas and strategies develop and get beat and repeat. Never tried the xpacs, as I feel the base game is so tight and interesting and I worry about adding extra bloat into such a lean system
I like both but duel is much stronger. And I agree that, at least for the one we have, expansions are not worth adding
I'd strongly disagree with this, Pantheon is pretty much a must in my opinion. In the base game you're forced to take s card each turn, but pantheon gives you other options, adding an extra layer of strategy to which cards you draw, and using the other actions at a good time to force your opponent to take one you don't want. I loved the base game, but I can never imagine playing without Pantheon now. Agora I've not played, but I've heard it's nothing special.
I'm in the same boat as you. 7 Wonders is okay, but I adored 7 Wonders Duel and find myself going back to it again and again with my spouse.
