7 Wonders

7 Wonders is set in the Ancient World, placing players in the role of leaders vying for supremacy amongst seven great cities. The game focuses on the development and expansion of these cities through strategic resource management, military prowess, and the construction of magnificent wonders. While a historical theme is present, the core gameplay mechanics prioritize strategic choices over strict historical accuracy. The ultimate goal is to amass the most victory points by the end of three distinct ages, representing periods of significant growth and development. Gameplay revolves around a card drafting mechanism spread over three ages. Each age presents players with a selection of cards offering diverse benefits, from resource acquisition and commercial advancements to military might and civic development. Players simultaneously select a card, then pass the remaining cards to an adjacent player, creating a dynamic interplay of individual strategy and reactive adjustments to opponents’ moves. This process is repeated until a set number of cards are collected in each age. The game concludes after three ages, with victory determined by a comprehensive point tally reflecting the overall development and achievements of each player’s city.
