Gateway Game: 7 Wonders
Wednesday, October 14 · 6:30 - 7:30 PM
Ancient world, three ages. You're building a civilization from the ground up — gathering resources, constructing marketplaces and temples, advancing science, building your military, and, if all goes well, completing one of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world!
7 Wonders is one of the best introductions to card drafting, the mechanic where everyone chooses one card from a hand and passes the rest to the next player. Every turn gives you a small but meaningful decision: take the card your civilization needs, grab something your neighbor clearly wants, or tuck a card under your Wonder to build toward its next stage.
Because everyone chooses at the same time, the game moves quickly even with a full table. Over three rounds, you'll watch your civilization grow from a few resource cards into its own little engine — and start learning the central tension of drafting games: you're not just choosing from what's in your hand, you're choosing what the next person gets to see too.
In 7 Wonders, players engage in closed drafting and hand management to develop their civilizations over three ages. Players must strategically choose cards to gather resources, build structures, and compete with neighbors for military supremacy and victory points.
