Product Description
Theme: 7 Wonders is a civilisation building card game that spans three ages. Players will take turns drawing from the available resources to generate the wonders of their age, expanding on previous developments to generate ever greater wonders.
Gameplay: 7 Wonders lasts three ages. In each age, players receive seven cards from a particular deck, choose one of those cards, then pass the remainder to an adjacent player, as in Fairy Tale or a Magic: the Gathering booster draft. Players reveal their cards simultaneously, paying resources if needed or collecting resources or interacting with other players in various ways. (Players have individual boards with special powers on which to organize their cards, and the boards are double-sided as in Bauza's Ghost Stories.) Each player then chooses another card from the deck they were passed, and the process repeats until players have six cards in play from that age. After three ages, the game ends.
In essence 7 Wonders is a card development game along the lines of Race for the Galaxy or Dominion. Some cards have immediate effects, while others provide bonuses or upgrades later in the game. Some cards provide discounts on future purchases. Some provide military strength to overpower your neighbors and others give nothing but victory points. Unlike Magic or Fairy Tale, however, each card is played immediately after being drafted, so you'll know which cards your neighbor is receiving and how his choices might affect what you've already built up. Cards are passed left-right-left over the three ages, so you need to keep an eye on the neighbors in both directions.

Great game play, nice graphics and very repayable Review by Cee (Posted on 4/3/12)

Wonders is neither a typical “gamer’s game” nor a “gateway game”. It is best described as a “filler for gamers”, and is perhaps the best of this small genre. Review by Darryl B. (Posted on 10/26/11)
