How to play Maravillas Duel

1
Draft four Colombian wonders each, then play three Ages. On your turn take one uncovered card from the shared layout.
2
Build it (pay its resources; buy what you lack from the bank), sell it for coins, or tuck it under one of your wonders to raise it.
3
Win on the spot by pushing the war pawn into the rival capital or by collecting 6 different science symbols — otherwise most points after Age III.

Full Maravillas Duel rules

Setting up

•
Both players start with 7 coins. The war pawn sits in the middle of the track with four military tokens on it.
•
5 of the 10 progress tokens are laid out at random; the rest go back to the box.
•
Each Age deck loses 3 random cards unseen. Age III gets 3 random guilds shuffled in.

Drafting the wonders

•
Four wonders are revealed: the first player takes 1, the second takes 2, the first takes the last one.
•
Four more are revealed and the second player opens this time (2-1-1-2 the other way round). Everyone ends with 4.

Your turn

•
Take one card that no other card covers, then do one of three things with it:
•
Build it: pay its cost and put it in your city. A card with a chain symbol you already own is free.
•
Sell it: take 2 coins + 1 per yellow card in your city. The card goes to the discard pile.
•
Raise a wonder: pay one of your wonders' cost and tuck the card under it. The card itself does nothing.
•
Any face-down card that is no longer covered is flipped face up right away.

Paying

•
Your brown and grey cards (and some yellow cards and wonders) produce resources every turn — they are never used up.
•
Each missing resource is bought from the bank at 2 coins + 1 per unit of it your rival's brown and grey cards produce. Some yellow cards fix that price at 1.
•
Some cards also cost coins, paid to the bank.

Military

•
Each shield moves the war pawn one space toward the rival capital. When it enters a zone with a token, the rival loses 2 or 5 coins.
•
If the pawn reaches the rival capital, you win at once. At the end it is worth 2, 5 or 10 points to whoever it leans toward.

Science and progress

•
There are 7 science symbols. Every time you own two of the same, take one progress token from the board.
•
Collect 6 different symbols and you win at once.

Ages and the end

•
An Age ends when its 20 cards are gone. The player behind on the war track chooses who starts the next Age (if level, whoever played last chooses). A "play again" at the very end of an Age is lost.
•
After Age III, add up: blue, green, yellow and guild points, wonders, progress tokens, the war track, and 1 point per 3 coins.
•
Most points wins. A tie goes to the most blue-card points; still tied, you share the victory.

Tips to win at Maravillas Duel

•
Watch the war track: if the pawn reaches your capital you lose instantly, even if you are ahead on points.
•
Same with science: if your rival collects 6 different symbols they win on the spot, so sometimes you must take a green card just to sell it.
•
Look at which cards you uncover: taking one can hand your rival exactly the card they need.
•
Producing your own resources makes your rival's purchases dearer: each unit from your brown and grey cards raises their price.
