Description
In 7 Wonders Duel, two civilizations go head-to-head in a strategic showdown to build the greatest empire. Each round, players pick cards from a shared display—face-up or face-down—where timing is key, since you can only grab a card if it’s not covered by another. Snag bonuses by using timing cards to snatch a second pick, and decide whether to build, discard for coins, or fuel your wonder progression.
Every player starts with four unique wonder cards, each unlocking powerful abilities as you construct their iconic structures. Only seven wonders can be built total, so expect rivalry—and regrets. Need resources? Buy them from the bank, but as your dominance grows, their cost skyrockets for your opponent.
Victory comes in three explosive ways: march your military marker to your rival’s capital, collect six science symbols for scientific supremacy, or outscore them in a final-point tally. With every decision shifting the balance, this duel rewards cunning as much as planning. Will you conquer, discover, or outlast? Only one civilization wins.
