7 Wonders Duel

Duel is designed strictly as a tense, 2-player head-to-head card drafting game. Over three ages, players acquire cards from a structured pyramid layout to develop their civilization's military strength, scientific advancements, and commercial structures, while racing to construct grand Wonders. The game can be won immediately via military supremacy or scientific monopoly; otherwise, whoever has the most victory points at the end of Age III takes the crown. It is widely considered one of the absolute best 2-player board games ever made.
