Resource management is very important in this game because each resource structure played is a point-giving structure you do not play, but if you do not build enough resources, you will not be able to efficiently build point-giving structures. The spreadsheet that I will use to compare each card is available here if you want to play around with the data: 7_wonders_statistics Resources (brown/gray) I am going to jump right into it with an overview of resources.

To put it simply, you are looking for the 18 cards that will give you the most points. This game, like many others, is about more efficiently gathering victory points than all of your opponents in a limited amount of time. Check out the video above or the text analysis below. Of course I have plenty of other tips to scrape away a few extra points as well, so gather ‘round and let me tell you how to build the greatest wonders the world has ever seen.Īs with all of my analyses, I am assuming you know how to play this game so I can focus entirely on the strategies to help you win it. When you get down to it, there are 2 primary strategies (science or community) that you can use as the foundation for your game, so just pick one of them based on the wonder you are building and the cards you get in Age 1, and do the best you can with it by supplementing it with military, treasury, and guilds. What makes it difficult is that it’s fairly hard to explain how to play because there are so many very different ways to score points. This frustration is present over and over throughout your first few hands, and probably your first few ages. Although I have a lot of respect for it now, I admit I was not a fan of this game when I first played it a couple years ago because you constantly have to be making decisions about which cards to take, and it’s very frustrating not having any idea about which cards to pick when you are unfamiliar with the game. And here we have 7 Wonders, a keystone title for most of us hardcore gamers.
