7 Wonders is a card-based civilization game. It uses a card-drafting mechanic where, once per turn, each player selects a card to play from their hand then passes the remaining cards to the player on their left. This is repeated until 6 out of the 7 cards dealt have been played. The game is played over three different decks representing three different ages. At the end of each age, military conflicts are resolved between neighbors. Resource trading is also possible between neighbors throughout the game. Once all three decks have been played, players tally their scores in different developed areas (civil, scientific, commercial). The player with the most points wins.
