Iain Everett's 2025 design hands both players a single shared deck of 108 cards, illustrated throughout by Pennie Jo Everett, and runs them across a double-sided board with two themed sets, so the pool you're drawing from shifts between games rather than settling into a routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe twist is in the scoring. You spend the game assembling combos exactly as you would in Everdell or Wingspan — and then discover that a card only scores once you have completely used it up. Every engine you build is therefore temporary by design, and the actual skill is knowing the precise turn to start pulling apart something you spent four turns putting together. It sits at a medium weight, runs to about an hour, and it is emphatically a duel: there's a solo mode in the box, but this is a two-player game.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two-player households who have played Duel for Middle-earth into the ground, and anybody who finds ordinary engine builders a little too comfortable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1–2 players | 60 minutes | Age 10+\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e—\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e📖 \u003cstrong\u003eNew to the style?\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/news\/what-is-a-euro-game\"\u003eWhat Is a Euro Game?
