Die Tore der Welt: Das Kartenspiel is a board game released in 2012 for 2–4 players, 45 minutes per game, and ages 10 and up. It was designed by Walter Schranz.
Die Tore der Welt: Das Kartenspiel, a card game version of World Without End, takes the basic mechanism of the big game and breaks it down to a game with 90 cards. Each turn an event card is flipped that defines available player actions. Players collect stone, cloth, piety and medical knowledge to score victory points. The game is played over two chapters, and each chapter is played in 12 rounds. At the end of each chapter, players have to meet certain requirements which are not exactly known beforehand to avoid negative points. The player with the most victory points wins.
Die Tore der Welt: Das Kartenspiel supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Die Tore der Welt: Das Kartenspiel is 45 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Die Tore der Welt: Das Kartenspiel for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
