FYI if you like Dorf the Duel, you will most certainly like Dorf the stand alone. Yes it does say that it is a "co-op" game, but I find it best personally playing it solo and using the campaign sheet. Some of the task's are tough and really make you make hard decisions. I think if you like this game and do have the time to play it Solo you will actually like the original Dorf Romantik even better.

The game looks like fun but I'm a little confused with the rules. It seems like the player with the face up tiles is just copying the player with the face down tiles. How can it be a competition if the boards are the same? Maybe I'm misinterpreting the rules or something? Idk

Dorfromantik Coop Impossible, just solo, or now duel, but the base game is everything but coop.

I want to buy ONLY ONE of the 2 Dorf games (Original OR Duel). I don't necessarily want to play it with 2 people but there are little things in the Duel game that we can import with the Original game... so the Duel game is more complete than the Original?... yes? ??!!! In the Original game, the small boxes are unlockable but when you have unlocked all the small boxes, are the pieces and objectives identical to those in the Duel game?!... yes??!! Then, Duel has double the pieces (Red & Blue) that the Original contains so it's twice as good to have Duel instead of the Original. (???) I'm still trying to figure out why it would be better to buy the Original. I've already searched the internet for an answer to my question without really finding it. So thank you for your personal advice.
