Stonemaier Games: Pendulum | A Worker Placement, Time-Optimization Strategy Board Game | Time is The Most Precious Resource as You Attempt to Rule Dunya | 1-5 Players, 90 Mins, Ages 14+ — Open-Box, 28% Off

GOAL: Each player is a powerful, unique noble vying to succeed the Timeless King as the true ruler of Dünya. The winner will be the player who manages and invests their time most effectively and who builds the best engine, not the player who acts the quickest.

GAMEPLAY: Players command their workers, execute stratagems, and expand the provinces in their domain in real time to gain resources and move up the four victory tracks: power, prestige, popularity, and legendary achievement.

TIME: Players must use actual time as a resource in managing their strategy to best their opponents, using time on different action types and balancing it with time spent planning and analyzing.

BEAUTIFULLY DESIGNED AND ILLUSTRATED: Designed by Travis P Jones. Illustrated by Robert Leask.

MECHANISMS: Real-Time, Deck Construction, Worker Placement, and Variable Player Powers.

SOLO PLAY: Features an Automa to play against in a single player game for a fun solitaire experience. The Automa simulates an opponent for you to compete against, while your game as a player remains the same. On the Automa’s turn, flip a card to see what action it takes.

UNIQUE REAL TIME GAME: Engage your whole play group simultaneously with this exciting timed game full of tension and difficult decisions.

THEMATICALLY DESIGNED MECHANISMS: When you use time, you actually have locked workers who are locked into actions for a certain amount of time based on how long that action takes - various sand timers are used to keep track of this.

OVERVIEW: 1-5 Players, 60-90 mins, Ages 14+
