7 Wonders: Duel - a two-player game in the universe of 7 Wonders Challenge your opponent and bring your civilisation to victory with prestigious buildings, military strength, or scientific supremacy. All in only 30 minutes! A game of 7 Wonders Duel plays over three rounds, called Ages, during which you will choose cards with increasingly powerful effects. Each card you choose will influence your general strategy. A player will start with four wonder cards, and the construction of a wonder provides its owner with a special ability. Only seven wonders can be built, though, so one player will end up short. Develop your city by constructing buildings. Each building lets you improve one of your city's 4 paths of development (Military, Science, Commercial and Civil). Players can purchase resources at any time from the bank, or they can gain cards during the game that provide them with resources for future building; as you acquire resources, the cost for those particular resources increases for your opponent, representing your dominance in this area. A player can win in one of three ways: Military Supremacy - Each shield represented on the military Buildings (red cards) or Wonders allows its owner to immediately move the Conflict pawn one space in the direction of the opposing capital. If the Conflict pawn enters the space of the opponent's capital, you immediately win the game via military supremacy. Scientific Supremacy - There are 7 different scientific symbols in the game. Each time you gather a pair of identical scientific symbols, you may immediately choose one of the Progress tokens on the game board. That token will be kept in your city until the end of the game. If you gather 6 different scientific symbols, you immediately win the game via scientific supremacy. Civilian Victory - A game ends immediately in the case of the military supremacy or a scientific supremacy. If no player has won a victory through supremacy before the end of Age III, the player who has the most victory points wins the game. Two expansions: Pantheon and Agora can be added for even more intense and strategic gameplay.
