What this is
In 7 Wonders, players draft cards to develop their ancient civilization and build its Wonder of the World. In each age, players receive seven cards from a particular deck, choose one of those cards, then pass the remainder to an adjacent player. Players reveal their cards simultaneously, paying resources if needed or collecting resources or interacting with other players in various ways.
