Root is complex, so you need to have someone to really know the rules. But as soon everyone understand what its faction is supposed to do to win, it's pure pleasure!

Splendor duel?! I love splendor but i've never heard of duel, sounds interesting! What's NerdzDay?

If you like Splendor and often play at 2 then Splendor Duel is definitely worth checking out. The new draft and new win conditions change things up quite a bit. I still like to go back to regular Splendor too though when I am in the mood for that pure Splendor goodness.

NerdzDay is an annual sales even by Gamenerdz, a US online retailer. It's very popular because they often include some very good deals and the store has a relatively low free-shipping threshold and an easy to use customer hold option (which means that they can can hold your orders until you pile up enough to qualify for the free shipping)

Is there anything similar available in the EU?

[–] donio@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

Don't know about specific sales but the Hot Deals - EU sub-forum on BGG might be worth checking out. There is also TableTopFinder for checking prices of specific games.

Oh boi, splendor duel is a two player version of it that by many accounts is better than the original splendor (for sure if you play with two players)

Radlands is a 2-player only card battler. You fight in multiple lanes and try to destroy each other bases. The cards have relatively simple abilities that can combo together and you can also use them for discard effects. Water is a resource used to pay for playing cards, managing your water and your card draws is very important. Cool art, good card quality, not too expensive.
