What is 7 wonders about?

7 Wonders is a 2-7 player game where players lead one of the 7 great cities of the Ancient World, exploiting the natural resources of their lands, taking part in the eternal march of progress, developing their commercial relationships and asserting their military might.  The game of 7 Wonders takes place over 3 Ages, each using one of the 3 Age deck of cards. During each Age, players have the opportunity to play 6 cards to develop their city or build their Wonder. These structures or Wonders have a resource and/or coin cost, whilst others may be free or have a construction cost. During each Age, players will:

  1. Choose a Card
  2. Perform their Action
  3. Give their hand of cards to the player sitting on either side of them and receive another hand of cards from the player sitting beside them.

There are 6 turns during an Age, with each Age ending after the 6th turn.  The player with the most Victory Points wins the game.
