Enter the battlefield of rivalry where two cities vie for supremacy in the sixteenth century. In Stedenstrijd, everything revolves around power, influence, and timing. Every choice heightens the tension, as one smart move can instantly determine the fate of your city.
This is a strategic two-player game centered on drafting, set collection, and tableau building. Players take turns selecting cards from an open and partially hidden selection to build their own city. Cards provide resources, military strength, science, or direct effects. Military pressure allows you to force your opponent toward defeat, while science symbols unlock alternative victory conditions. The game ends as soon as one player achieves a direct victory through military or science superiority, or when all cards have been played and the final score is determined. The player with the most points wins.
You balance attack, defense, and development as the tension continues to rise. Can you choose the right moment to strike and ensure your city emerges victorious from this duel?
