Game Description
Immerse yourself in history and lead one of the seven great cities of Antiquity with 7 Wonders, the award-winning board game that redefined the card drafting genre. Since 2010, this masterpiece published by Repos Production invites you to shape the destiny of your ancient civilization. Gather precious resources, develop flourishing trade routes, and assert your military supremacy to build a city that will stand the test of time, culminating in the erection of a majestic architectural wonder that will transcend future eras.
The heart of 7 Wonders beats through three Eras, each representing a crucial phase of development. In each Era, players receive seven cards, selecting one and then passing the remaining ones to an adjacent player. This innovative card drafting system ensures continuous interaction and thoughtful decisions. Cards are revealed simultaneously, allowing you to pay resources, collect new ones, or interact with other leaders. With quick games of approximately 30 minutes, the action is always dynamic and engaging, making every choice crucial for your strategic development.
Every card played in 7 Wonders is a fundamental piece of your strategy. Some offer immediate effects, others grant bonuses and upgrades or discounts on future purchases. You can enhance your military supremacy to intimidate your neighbors, accumulate essential resources through clever resource management, or simply aim to maximize your victory points. Constant awareness of your neighbors' choices, facilitated by cards being passed in alternating directions through the three Eras, is vital. Designed for 2-7 players, it includes an official variant for two, ensuring fun and challenge regardless of the number of participants.

Rules - 7 Wonders
7 Wonders is a renowned card development game set in Antiquity. Players lead one of seven great cities, with the goal of building their civilization, developing trade routes, asserting military supremacy, and erecting a majestic architectural Wonder. The game takes place over three Ages, lasts approximately 30 minutes, and supports 2-7 players (with an official two-player variant).
Each Age begins with players receiving seven cards. The central mechanism is drafting: each player secretly chooses one card from their hand and passes the remaining ones to the adjacent player. The chosen cards are revealed simultaneously. To play a card, it is often necessary to pay the cost in resources. Cards provide immediate effects, future bonuses, discounts, military strength, or victory points. This process repeats until six cards have been played per Age. Cards are passed in alternating directions (left-right-left) across the three Ages, requiring attention to neighbors.
- Receive seven cards from the current Age.
- Choose a card.
- Pass the remaining cards.
- Reveal the card, pay the cost, and apply the effect.
After three Ages, the game ends, and players calculate victory points based on the cards built, their Wonder, and interaction with neighbors. Strategy requires a balance between developing one's city, managing resources, and anticipating opponents' moves.
