**Game: 7 Wonders**
You are the leader of one of the 7 great cities of the Ancient World. Gather resources, develop commercial routes, and affirm your military supremacy to build your city and erect an architectural wonder that will transcend future times.
In each age, players receive cards from a particular deck, and will draft them in turn. Players reveal their cards simultaneously, paying resources if needed or collecting resources or interacting with other players in various ways. Each player then chooses another card from the deck they were passed, 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 development game. Some cards have immediate effects, while others provide bonuses or upgrades later in the game. Some cards provide discounts on future purchases. Some provide military strength to overpower your neighbors and others give nothing but victory points. Each card is played immediately after being drafted, so you'll know which cards your neighbor is receiving and how their choices might affect what you've already built up. Cards are passed left, then right, then left again over the three ages, so you need to keep an eye on the neighbors in both directions.
