Lead one of the seven cities of the Ancient World. Use your land's natural resources, participate in the progress of your civilization, develop trade relations, and become a military superpower.
Leave your mark on the history of civilization by building architectural wonders that will outlast the ages to come.
At its core, the board game 7 Wonders is a civilization development game played with cards. Some buildings you play have immediate effects, while others provide bonuses or upgrades later in the game. Some buildings offer discounts on future purchases, and some provide military strength for waging war with your neighbors. Some have no effects but grant victory points at the end of the game. In this board game, every card is played immediately, so you will know what choices your neighbors are making and how those choices affect what you have already built.
