The rules, step by step
Setup
To set up the game, each player selects a wonder board and receives 3 coins. The 148 Age cards are divided into three decks: 49 Age I cards, 49 Age II cards, and 50 Age III cards. For the Age III deck, add a number of Guild cards equal to the number of players plus two. Each Age deck is shuffled and placed face down in the center of the table. The 78 coins and 48 military conflict tokens are placed in the center of the table, forming the reserve. Each player is dealt 7 cards from the Age I deck face down, which will form their starting hand.
Objective
In 7 Wonders, you are the leader of an ancient city, and your objective is to develop your city and make it triumphant over your opponents, who share the same goal. You will achieve this by strategically building structures, collecting resources, engaging in military conflicts, and accumulating victory points.
On your turn
The game is played over three successive ages, with each age consisting of six simultaneous turns. In each turn, players simultaneously choose one card from their hand, play it, and then pass the remaining cards to their neighbor. For Age I and III, cards are passed to the left, and for Age II, cards are passed to the right. This continues until players have only two cards left, from which they choose one to play and discard the other.
Scoring
At the end of the third age, after resolving military conflicts, each player calculates their total victory points. Points are awarded for: stages of your wonder board, every 3 coins in your treasure (1 point), military conflict tokens (positive and negative), blue cards (direct victory points), yellow cards (points based on their effects), green cards (points for identical symbols and sets of three different symbols), and purple cards (points based on their effects). The player with the highest total score wins.
Game end
The game concludes at the end of the third age, after all military conflicts have been resolved. Players then proceed to calculate their total victory points. The player with the highest score is declared the winner. In case of a tie, the player with the most coins wins. If there is still a tie, the tied players share the victory.
Tips
When playing a card, you can build the structure by paying its specific costs in resources or coins. You can also build a stage of your wonder by paying its cost and placing the chosen card face down under your wonder board. Alternatively, you can sell a card for 3 coins by eliminating it face down in the center of the table. Some cards can be built for free if you have a specific matching symbol from a previously built card. You can buy resources from your immediate neighbors for 2 coins per resource if your city does not produce the required resource. Resources purchased from neighbors must be used in the same turn, and each resource can only be bought once per turn from the same neighbor.
