7 Wonders is a competitive card drafting game, intended for 2-7 players who already have some experience with board games.
You’re the leader of a civilization with a simple, extremely easy task: build a fantastical feat of strength like the pyramids of Giza. Also, while you’re doing that, do your best to stay on top of the food chain of civilizations. Also, manage your resources well so you can keep building your wonder. Also, keep a close eye on your left and right, because its in the best interest of those players to put you on your back foot. Sounds easy, right?
Gather resources, develop commercial routes, and show those haters that you’re a military force to be reckoned with by using cards that are drafted one at a time and played right away. Some cards require you pay resources, some cards have you go to war, and some aren’t so useful until later in the game. You can work with the player to your left and right to a degree, so make sure you aren’t making TOO much war with them. Just a moderate amount of war, ok?
