Saturday Sunday Open 12pm - 10pm. Get in touch! Item added to your cart. The strategy you play in a given round can rarely be static or repeated verbatim. Thematically, I love the way this concept echoes the nature of conflict in these societies from thousands of years ago; everyone is forced to deal with their neighbor, but any one society might have a dearth of understanding or direct interaction with a nation much farther away. Across three ages of play, each player gradually builds out a civilization focused on different technologies and capabilities.
Gorgeous new cover art echoes the iconic appearance of the original illustration, but with a grander scope and central focal point on the Colossus statue. Open the box, and the fixation on improved production values is also apparent. Several single-sheet symbol breakdowns show clear descriptions of effects, and can be passed around the table to help as you learn the iconography.
And another sheet depicts the card chains that are available for players who really like to plan ahead in their strategies. The original edition offered a two-player variant, but it was never the best way to play the game. With this new edition, publisher Repos Production seems to acknowledge that fact, and simply acknowledges that the game is explicitly built for three to seven players.
The box insert is more helpfully organized, with easy rounded pockets for quick retrieval of tokens inside. And, on that subject, the tokens themselves have been tweaked for easier quick identification at a glance, with a sharp black border aesthetic on many, and easier reading of the numbers on the point value tabs, thanks to stark white backgrounds. The biggest aesthetic jump is with the Wonder cardboard planks that act as a player's central play area.
The Wonders are now depicted on larger cardboard pieces than in the original, to better show off the evocative art. And unlike in the original, those large cardboard sheets now have different art on each side — a picture of the Wonder in the day, and a new, separate image depicting the same site at night — each offering a slightly different play experience. All the card backs are now coated in an attractive metallic sheen, split between bronze, silver, and gold, to match the three respective Ages through which the game moves.
The effect lends an almost decadent vibe to the decks. Perhaps more importantly, the card fronts have been reorganized. Borrowing a presentation style from 7 Wonders Duel an excellent 2-player game in its own right , the new cards layer all the relevant icon information at the top of the card, allowing for vertical stacking.
Beyond quality-of-life improvements and some new artwork, experienced players will note that some of the cards and Wonders have new values and resource costs connected to them. However, I can say with authority that the new edition still has that feel of seamless interaction and balance that experienced tabletop players begin to get a sense for.
Play flows smoothly, all the strategies still seem viable, and the card chains and interconnections all match the theming of the ancient world. If in doubt, look for the positioning of the big statue on the cover. If you already own 7 Wonders, I think the answer is more complicated.
