Duel of ages II

I had a game of duel of ages today and it was a lot of fun. Characters from all ages having random encounters and being rewarded with some of the wackiest weapons and gadgets that you can imagine. This guy can kill on a lucky hit if he damages you. Guess what happened to me. 🙂 bugger

One of the rules we keep getting wrong is the following

Imprisoning Enemies
An imprisoned enemy is placed on your team base Prison space. He keeps his cards. A prisoner is helpless. He cannot use cards or special abilities or take any actions.
Capture
When you kill an enemy character in any way, you can choose instead to imprison him. The enemy goes to prison with 1 Health. You still lose a “K” weapon when you imprison a defeated foe.

Well , the way we played it, the character lost his cards. There were an lot of cards picked up that should have not been and the flow on effect was dramatic. Opp fire was conducted with the incorrectly picked up cards and so on. The one I remember is damage from a battle axe from a card that should not have been lost. It caused damage of 4 ! This completely changed the game and I couldn’t understand why it seemed so one sided. The final result was a 3 to 2 achievements and this is a testament to the fine balance of the game, but it detracted from the final few turns.

Also this was not quite right
Offering tribute to Lith
During your Adventure phase, if a character is in Lith’s Chamber, he can offer a Tribute item and any unrevealed cards as tribute, then be dismissed. Place your team marker on Lith’s Chamber, and a die showing the amount of tribute given so far. A Tribute item is worth 3 points, and a card is worth 1 point.
If the enemy has already given tribute, deduct your tribute amount from their total. If you gave more, replace their team marker with your own.
You also gain 1 tribute point whenever you Amaze at the Reflecting Pool, Obsidian Fangs or Wailing Cave.

We did like this, that 2 cards were required. I also think they had been revealed?

So , all good now and I was getting ready to throw out the DOA 2 . It really is a fine game with a very complete rule set , if you read it all 😉 that is.
