I heard a lot of people say that the Duel variant is the better game.

There is also 7 Wonders or Agricola with full games and duel version. Which one do you prefer?

Not personally a fan of 7 Wonders, while I enjoy drafting as a mechanic I don't feel like it has enough heft to make an entire game out of it.

I LOVE 7 Wonders duel! The gameplay and decision trees get really interesting, and especially playing against the same opponent repeatedly whole metas and strategies develop and get beat and repeat. Never tried the xpacs, as I feel the base game is so tight and interesting and I worry about adding extra bloat into such a lean system

I'm in the same boat as you. 7 Wonders is okay, but I adored 7 Wonders Duel and find myself going back to it again and again with my spouse.

I like both but duel is much stronger. And I agree that, at least for the one we have, expansions are not worth adding
