In the centuries that Surcil, the Timeless King, ruled Dünya, he brought peace and prosperity to the world. Now the Timeless King is gone. His kingdom is in disarray and in the Great Square of Montbrielle the great iron clock has stopped. Legends predict that if a leader truly succeeds the Timeless King, he will walk into the Great Square and, with a push of the pendulum, usher in a new era of prosperity.
In Pendulum, each player is a powerful member of a noble family, who strives to succeed the Timeless King and become the true ruler of Dünya. Every man or woman of nobility in the game is unique. Players command their workers in real time, carry out stratagems and expand the provinces in their domain to obtain resources and progress along the 4 victory tracks: power, prestige, popularity and legendary achievements. Use your time wisely, because the player who proves himself most fit to rule during the final council meeting will be named the new Timeless Ruler!
Pendulum is a real-time strategy game without turns for 1–5 players. The players must use real time as a means to execute their strategy and outdo their opponents, needing time to perform different types of actions, but also to think and plan. Faster is not always better! The winner is not the one who acts fastest, but the one who manages and invests his time best.
