You are the leader of one of the 7 great cities of the Ancient World. Gather resources, develop trade routes, and assert your military supremacy. Build your city and erect an architectural wonder that will transcend future times.

7 Wonders lasts three ages. In each age, players receive seven cards from a particular deck, choose one of these cards, then pass the rest to an adjacent player. Players reveal their cards simultaneously, paying resources if necessary or collecting resources or interacting with other players in various ways. (Players have individual boards with special powers on which they can arrange their cards, and the boards are double-sided). Each player then chooses another card from the deck they received, and the process repeats until players have six cards in play from that age. After three ages, the game ends.

In essence, 7 Wonders is a card drafting game. Some cards have immediate effects, while others offer bonuses or upgrades later in the game. Some cards offer discounts on future purchases. Some provide military strength to defeat your neighbors and others give nothing but victory points. Each card is played immediately after being drafted, so you will know what cards your neighbor is receiving and how their choices may affect what you have already accumulated. Cards are passed from left to right and from right to left during the three ages, so you must keep an eye on your neighbors in both directions.

Although the box for previous editions is for 3-7 players, an official 2-player variant is included in the instructions.
