Some cards provide discounts on future purchases. Some cards have immediate effects, while others provide bonuses or upgrades later in the game. In essence, 7 Wonders is a card development game.

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. (Players have individual boards with special powers on which to organize their cards, and the boards are double-sided). Players reveal their cards simultaneously, paying resources if needed or collecting resources or interacting with other players in various ways. In each age, players receive seven cards from a particular deck, choose one of those cards, then pass the remainder to an adjacent player. Build your city and erect an architectural wonder which will transcend future times.ħ Wonders lasts three ages. Gather resources, develop commercial routes, and affirm your military supremacy. Once built, will your Wonder bring you glory for millennia to come? No downtime, renewed fun in each game and perfect balance regardless of the number of players.You are the leader of one of the 7 great cities of the Ancient World. Develop your civilization on a military, scientific, cultural, and economic level. Lead one of the seven greatest cities of Antiquity. Make the right decisions to lead your civilization to prosperity! ★★★ 2011 As d'Or - Jeu de l'Année Prix du Jury Winner ★★★ ★★★ 2011 Deutscher Spiele Preis Best Family/Adult Game Winner ★★★ ★★★ 2011 Golden Geek Best Card Game Winner ★★★
