Tesla vs. Edison: Duel

About this board game

Tesla vs. Edison: Duel is a two-player card game played in 15–30 minutes, bringing the War of Currents to the table through fast turns and serious strategic decisions.

Take control of Nikola Tesla or Thomas Edison and build an electricity company competing for influence across the United States. Claim projects in regions, advance the latest technologies, and fight a propaganda war between AC and DC. You can also buy stock shares in smaller electricity companies, adding another way to strengthen your position.

During the game, famous luminaries of the period can join your company. Each offers unique actions and abilities, giving both sides new opportunities as the struggle develops. Tesla vs. Edison: Duel combines these varied tools in an easy-to-learn format designed for light-to-medium weight gamers.

Victory depends on winning two of the three main systems:

• Projects: Control regions through your claimed projects.
• PR: Move ahead in the race to shape public opinion around AC and DC.
• Stocks: Hold the most valuable portfolio of shares in smaller electricity companies.

Each leader also has a special auto-win condition that can end the game immediately if triggered. This creates an additional threat to watch while you pursue the broader competition for regional control, public influence, and financial value.

Capturing the key ideas of the larger Tesla vs. Edison game in a shorter, more accessible format, Tesla vs. Edison: Duel offers a focused head-to-head contest with multiple routes to victory and plenty of room for strategic play.
