7 Wonders is a strategic card game for 2-7 players centered around a draft mechanic* whose goal is to build the most powerful ancient civilization of all.
(*Draft = Mechanic in which each player has a hand of cards, chooses one, and passes the remaining cards to the player next to them. This operation is repeated a certain number of times, and then each player plays with the final hand they have drawn.)
You are the leader of one of the seven most illustrious cities of Antiquity.
Develop your civilization in military, scientific, cultural, and economic fields, but be careful of the progress of your neighbors who share the same ambitions!
There are many ways to earn victory points in 7 Wonders: by building the stages of your Wonder, developing scientific areas, constructing civil buildings, winning military conflicts, assembling guilds, trading, and amassing wealth.
To perform all these actions, players need resources, produced every turn by the cards, and must therefore rely not only on themselves but also on the resources produced by their neighbors!
A game takes place over 3 rounds, called Ages. In each Age, each player receives 7 face-down cards. In each turn, players will simultaneously choose one card according to their strategy, play it, and pass the remaining hand to their neighbor.
The cards represent the different Buildings they can construct: resource production, civil, trade, military, scientific, and guilds.
At the end of each Age, players will face each other in war with their two neighbors. After the 3 Ages, players will count the victory points provided by their City, Wonder, military effectiveness, and Treasure. The player with the highest score wins the game.
