Why it lands at the table
7 Wonders Duel is the two-player version of 7 Wonders, by Antoine Bauza and Bruno Cathala. Over three ages, each player builds a civilisation from cards laid out in a shared structure, some face up and some hidden.
Taking a card can uncover another for your opponent, so every pick is a small calculation. You can build it, sell it for coins, or use it to raise one of your wonders.
There are three ways to win: military, science, or points at the end. The tension of a duel that could end early in either direction is what keeps people playing.
