Description

Partners Duo is a 2-player version of the Partners game. Just like partners you have to get your pawns from the home area to the target as fast as possible. Pawns are moved clockwise along the track according to the value of the card played, unless the card allows you to do something else (move backwards, split the value, swap spaces, put another pawn into play, etc.) Players are dealt 4 cards, and then have to swap one of the cards with their opponent (instead of their partner). The winner is the player who first get all his pawns (two set of three) placed in the target area.

Differences from the original edition include:
1) You do not play as a pair, but only 1-vs-1
2) You swap a card with your opponent instead of your partner. This is very different, since your choice directly influence what your opponent can do, and your opponent also knows one of your cards.
3) You have to get 2 sets of 3 pawns around the track (instead of one set of 4 pawns.
4) Many of the cards have changed, now the highest card is 10 instead of a 14, and there are new abilities on some of the cards.
5) The track is a bit smaller, 40 space around instead of 56 spaces.
