Title: Great fun. Great replay value. Know your crowd.
Review: I find games of chance boring, so this was a very nice change of pace. While there is still some luck involved, with proper planning, you can win far more games than you lose. Love the theme, the components are high quality, and once you get through that initial playthrough, things start to click and everyone has a good time. Just be sure your group can handle the extra details. My first family game was a disaster ð¤£.

Title: Fun Family Board Game
Review: I first got 7 Wonders Duel, and since that game is so much fun, I picked this up for the occasional times when there are more than 2 of us playing. I enjoy this game even more. It's really fun to build up your city, trying to strategize around what the other players are doing while focusing on end game points, all to have your best efforts thwarted by a player to your right or left who's implementing a bonkers strategy that ends up paying off. I think the game changes quite a bit with the number of players. I'd love to try with more people and see. I appreciate how quick the game is, even though it's complex. We don't have the patience for those mega-games that take hours.The gameplay is pretty intuitive, especially compared to duel, although watching through a gameplay video is a must. Scoring isn't too bad, although I have to read through the details in the rulebook each time to make sure I'm not missing something. It's less complicated than other games of its type.

Title: Great strategy game that doesn't require a lot of time
Review: Our oldest son introduced our family to this game after playing it at college. It took one play through to get the gist of how the game works, and by the 2nd and third time playing we were rolling along pretty quickly. The game is played in 3 "Ages" that consists of 6 rounds of play each Age. Play is simultaneous, meaning everyone plays at the same time each round. This makes game play quick and keeps everyone engaged throughout the game to the end. It also forces you to focus on your game more than playing off others.After playing once or twice, it appeared that there was one specific way to win consistently, but after playing a dozen times now, its apparent that there are many ways to win, and it really is luck of the draw of the cards you are dealt, and how you choose to play it. Playing with my kids, it's not uncommon for me to be able to dominate in board games just from experience and superior strategy. This game tends to nullify that. You can have a great strategy, and depending on the hand you are dealt, and the cards you play, it can all go to "heck in a hand basket" in a hurry, so it tends to even the playing field.This is a great game if you have 30 minutes to kill... or a full evening. Once you get the hang of game play, it can go really quickly, and you can be done and move on to something else. And if you are having fun, you can roll through 3 or 4 games in an evening.It's a great party game or family game. I would say that it's more suitable for older kids and adults. I have a 12 year old daughter that loves to play, but it's a little beyond my 8 year old, at least he doesn't show a lot of interest. He played with my wife one game, and he lost interest pretty quickly.Overall, it's a great game, and I highly recommend it.

Review: Interesting game, similar to Catan. Only that the game is quick and gets over soon, so nobody gets board in the middle. We liked it.

Title: Modern design and QoL improvements make this the definitive edition
Review: New edition features updated / modern graphic design for the cards to make them more userd friendly. Nice bright color, clear symbols, easy to follow rule book. Big winner for most game groups. Terrific family weight game. Not too complex to turn away casual gamers, but enough meat on the bone to keep heavy strategy gamers engaged. Game is smartly balanced at multiple player counts. Base game is a full good experience on its own, and expansions add more complexity to your taste without changing the core experience.

Title: Easy and fun for up to 7
Review: This is a light to medium weight game. Easy to learn how to play, but takes some practice to be good at it. This is a tableau builder game, you are building your city around the wonder you are given to construct. Good player interaction as the hand of cards you have are the various facilities and buildings available, for you pick one to build and pass the rest of the cards to players to either side of you. The game is in 3 eras/ages and the direction you pass the cards changes from from clockwise in ages 1 and 3 and counter clockwise in age 2. This interaction also helps when utilizing the resources those players make, because you can use them. You have to score the most points to win and the tricky part is understanding how to score. Again ...fairly easy to learn, a bit tougher to strategize and excel at. Won't take many plays before you "get it" though.This is the multi-player version(2nd edition) for 3-7 players, ages 10+. I think that's fairly accurate, but slightly younger could probably play it fairly well. 60-90 minutes ...maybe a bit longer on the 1st couple plays. I think 7 Wonders: Duel is a little better, but it's roughly the same game, just how you play is a little different. I believe the 1st edition version of this game is 2-7 players, so be aware of which version you are getting from the box art. Quality game that can be considered a gateway game to get newbies into board gaming.

Title: Great Game!
Review: We loved this game. Beware that the third deck of cards is packaged divided between the other two decks. So there appearto be only two of the decks but when you open them, the other cards are there. Very fun game. Everyone loved it.

Review: We wanted to try a new family board game (ages 9 to 15). This is now one of our favorites. We can mix it up each time we play by choosing new boards and cards. Once you've learned how to play it's easy to catch on, fast and quick to play (about 30 minutes). A great find.
