Yes, the task of reading and understanding all the cards seems daunting at first. But take heart. It is woth it. When you master the icons on the card a whole universe opens up to you. I actually prefer the simplicity of only the base game from time to time. It is Race in its most destilled form. A classic.

… and yet it is. 7 Wonders is fast, it’s strategic and a tremendous fun to play. Once you have mastered the art and are able to read the icons on the card fluently (the greatest hurdle for new players), it plays in half an hour or less. A Great Game.

It was the first of its kind (deckbuilding game that is) and still leads the pack by at least a mile. It’s expandable, it has great replay value and I would never turn down a game. Ever.

My only gripe is with the “components”. There still isn’t an easy way to store and carry around with you all the thousands of cards that is officially “sanctioned”. I would love to pay some euro to buy a Dominion Box. Yet, I can’t.

It’s not easy to learn. It takes a few hours of time to play. Still I really like this game. With the right group, where everyone has at least a glancing knowledge of all the rules, this is one of my favourite co-op games.
