Neuroshima HEX!: Duel is both a standalone two-player game as well an expansion pack of armies that can be used in the base game. The Smart army consists of highly mobile robots, with each ally adjacent to HQ being granted the "move" ability; the Vegas army is a horde of jumpsuited Elvises -- scratch that, it's an army of criminals that can bribe any enemy unit that's adjacent to Vegas' HQ, forcing it to fire on its fellow troops.

For the two-player game, Duel includes a new gameboard and a new rule to accompany that board: Players can choose to discard tiles to earn power points, which are then used to activate special powers on the board. More choices!

Portal's Ignacy Trzewiczek notes that as with every Portal release, it will release a small print run in English and German at Spiel with the intention of having another company do a larger print run later. In this case, Z-Man Games will do an English version of its own at a later point. No word on a German version.
