The game is divided in three ages. These ages are played similarly, each player is given the opportunity to play 6 cards to develop their city. |
Players draw from a hand of cards that is passed around the table; each player drawing in turn and examining all the cards. |
At the end of each age, each player compares their military strength with one of their neighboring cities. |
When the third age is over, players score the points given by their cards and their military conflicts. The winner is the player with the most points. |

So rarely does a game present itself that is both very difficult for highly educated people to learn the first play through, and is simultaneously easy enough to play in under 15 minutes whilst carrying on a conversation about something entirely different. Such is my love. Such is 7 Wonders.The time has come for you to build your perfect civilization! You have plans for a glorious Wonder laid in front of you to truly emphasize your majesty. Will you be able to use your resources (and your neighbors’) wisely to construct your Wonder? Will you be able to build enough production facilities, guilds, trading facilities, temples, science, and military might to best your opponents? These are your goals as you play through 7 Wonders using a beautiful combination of card drafting, hand management, civilization building, and set collection mechanics.DISCLAIMER: We are discussing 7 Wonders using the vanilla base game without any expansions. We have access to all expansions except the new Armada, and we will be reviewing those as well in the future, so stay tuned. -TOkay, so like I mentioned in the intro: this game can be a bit of a bear to teach, especially if you use it as a gateway game to card drafting to newer gamers. The card drafting itself is not difficult – choose a card from the cards in your hand and then pass the rest to your neighbor. Grab the cards you received from your other neighbor and repeat the process. Drafting is easy. The hard part is deciding which of your cards will benefit you the most, and paying for the cost to build said card. I find that most players grasp the evaluating benefits and drafting, but then forget that they have to pay for the cards in order to place them on their civ. Once the payment is understood, and the combos of cards that fuel and pay for future cards, the game becomes a wonderful (eh? eh??) game of figuring out the best puzzle pieces to place in front of you.I don’t want to explain the entire game here, so I will just tell you that 7 Wonders has been an evergreen game for me. I love it every single time it comes out, even if others in my group are less affectionate. When playing with players who get it and love it, the game can be an easy 13-15 minute exercise in VP optimization. When playing with newbies, though, there are lots of concepts to internalize and remember, and lots of nuances that may be missed when trying to remember aforementioned concepts. So, my recommendation is this: if you do not already own this game, buy it now. I feel it is a must to have in any collection, and it is a great starting point to other games.Purple Phoenix Games gives this one a 21 / 24 because Bryan hates it.
