There are three “eras” players go through to build up their resources, military, scientific sets or glorious wonder construction. This is done by drafting cards that do various things and cost various resources. 7 Wonders meets the tough bar of being a robust strategy game that can be played very quickly. The fact that it is also a satisfying game for a play count of up to seven is also quite a feat.
