In Pendulum, each player is a powerful, unique noble vying to succeed the Timeless King as the true ruler of Dünya. Players command their workers, execute stratagems, and expand the provinces in their domain in real time to gain resources and move up the 4 victory tracks: power, prestige, popularity, and legendary achievement. Use your time wisely, as the player who has shown themselves the most fit to rule during the final Council will be declared the new Timeless Ruler!

Pendulum is a turnless real-time strategy game for 1-5 players. 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. Faster isn't always better! The winner will be the player who manages and invests their time most effectively, not the player who acts the quickest.

Pendulum

Average rating of 5 out of 5 stars

I haven't had a ton of opportunities to play Pendulum to give a full review yet, but it is much better than I expected it to be with the simultaneous realtime play. It’s a welcomed change from the normal games that I am used to playing.

Nothing Quite Like It

Average rating of 5 out of 5 stars

I've had the pleasure of playing Pendulum 3 times so far, and I've enjoyed it more each time. It's a fascinating blend of real-time and worker placement. I'm a big real-time fan, but don't typically enjoy worker placement. And I've introduced it to folks who are the opposite, and they also really enjoyed it. Unlike most real-time games, it never feels stressful (even the folks who aren't real-time fans agreed). It largely just prevents analysis paralysis and keeps the game moving. I also really enjoy that there is a tutorial mode to play it *almost* in turns; it still includes real-time elements but is much more relaxed. The rules recommend playing the tutorial mode for the 1st out of 4 rounds, and I've found that is a great way to give the less-confident real-time players the confidence they need to have fun through the rest of the game. All in all, this is both incredibly unique and a great game. You'll find yourself thinking about it long after playing. I can't recommend it enough.
