Get ready to summon the gods in 7 Wonders Duel: Pantheon! This expansion introduces a pantheon of deities from various civilizations – Greek, Egyptian, and Middle Eastern – to your epic duel. The cool part is that each god has a unique power to either give you a helping hand or hinder your opponent, adding a super fun strategic layer to the base game.

Things kick off in Age I, when you collect mythology tokens, which are like your invitations to choose which gods will be part of the Pantheon. In Age II, the move is to collect offering tokens, which are the currency to 'court' these deities. Then, in Ages II and III, instead of taking a card from the pyramid, you can activate a god or goddess from the Pantheon. To do this, you just pay the offerings the deity demands and place it next to your city.

Just imagine the possibilities: with Isis, you use a card from the discard pile to build a Wonder for free; Zeus, the big boss, lets you discard any card from the structure or even mythology/offering tokens on it; Tanit, the Phoenician goddess of trade, fills your coffers with twelve gold pieces; Enki, the Sumerian god of creation, gives you the chance to choose between two progress tokens; and Minerva, the strategist, can stop the conflict pawn from moving towards you, saving your skin or securing a military victory.

And it doesn't stop there! Instead of three guild cards in Age III, you add three of five Grand Temples. Each represents a different Mediterranean culture, and if you have a mythology token from that culture, you build the temple for free. These temples are worth points that grow as you build more: 5, 12, or 21 points. The expansion also includes two new Wonders: the Sanctuary (which gives you an extra turn and invokes deities at a reduced price) and the Divine Theater (which grants points and access to additional gods). It's a ton of new stuff to spice up your duels!
