9/100 Games in 100 Days: 7 Wonders

Anton Anton

Is it just me or did they HIT the sweet spot with this game.

A tale of epochs and civilizations crumbling and falling.
30 minute play.
No player elimination?

and up to 7 players!

This is the weapon of choice during those long Saturday nights before games of Catacombs or Runewars. And I can't believe its longevity.

The simple play and the clean mechanics are so enthralling.
It looks almost too easy.
Then it hits you. You start playing cards then look around...thats alot of green buildings there mate
Now you are trashing linen. Who needs linen anyways? Oh wait those bratty Greeks from Halicarnassus want the linen. ALL THE LINEN.

Too bad: Linen is now the left foot of the Colossus and now you have to change strategies.

One of my faves and a solid reminder to me that there is still innovation just out there.

Till Tomorrow x 7

"A tale of epochs and civilizations crumbling and falling."

You have played another 7 Wonders than I had... in my games a civilization never crumbled, or fell down - not even one single building. Honestly: You simply build up with better and better cards - you could say at the end of a game all civilizations are at their peak...

A good game, none the less...

We say in our games that if you lose your civilization will disappear into the sands of time.

Quite dire I know but there is a bit of truth in that
