The worlds of Scythe<\/em> and Expeditions<\/em> collide in Duel of Meloch<\/strong>, a brand-new standalone game designed exclusively for two players. Created by Jamey Stegmaier, this 45-minute strategic duel delivers an intense head-to-head experience on a brand-new map, where every decision matters in a race to claim victory. Each player uses the rules and unique mechanics of one of the two games, creating an asymmetric battle full of tactical choices.<\/p>\n

Scheduled for release in 2026, Duel of Meloch<\/em> can be played without owning Scythe<\/em> or Expeditions<\/em>, while remaining fully compatible with content from both games. Featuring new cards, exclusive components, and plenty of replayability, this latest title from Stonemaier Games is shaping up to be a must-have for fans of strategic two-player games and the acclaimed 1920+ universe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
