7 Wonders lasts three ages. In each age, players receive seven cards from a particular deck, choose one of those cards, then pass the remainder to an adjacent player, as in Fairy Tale or a Magic: the Gathering booster draft. Players reveal their cards simultaneously, paying resources if needed or collecting resources or interacting with other players in various ways. (Players have individual boards with special powers on which to organize their cards, and the boards are double-sided as in Bauza's Ghost Stories.) Each player then chooses another card from the deck they were passed, and the process repeats until players have six cards in play from that age. After three ages, the game ends.

In essence 7 Wonders is a card development game along the lines of Race for the Galaxy or Dominion. Some cards have immediate effects, while others provide bonuses or upgrades later in the game. Some cards provide discounts on future purchases. Some provide military strength to overpower your neighbors and others give nothing but victory points. Unlike Magic or Fairy Tale, however, each card is played immediately after being drafted, so you'll know which cards your neighbor is receiving and how his choices might affect what you've already built up. Cards are passed left-right-left over the three ages, so you need to keep an eye on the neighbors in both directions.

BGG description

This is the second PBF of 7 Wonders. This will be a game for 7 players using both expansions

The rules for the game (along with expansion rules) can be found here I will however explain how the game will be played via forum. At the start of the game I will randomise player seating order and wonder boards (each wonder is different as you might expect!). Then each player will PM me their choice of side for that board, and I will reveal all choices simultaneously. After that each age will work the same way. Each player will be sent a hand of cards, from which they will choose one to build/discard/use on their wonder. They will send their choice to me, along with any choices involved in that card (this includes who to pay for resources, what they are doing with the card (build/discard etc.), whether to use special abilities the player may have). Once everyone has chosen these, all of the card builds will be resolved, and each player's hand will be sent on to the next player, and I will post an update of each player's civilisation.

At the end of 3 ages, I'll do a check of the scores, and a winner will be declared.

Player order
This is the order the players are sitting around the table. The player above you is the one on your left, and below you is the one on your right (wrapping around at the top/bottom).

Kuildeous - Rhodes
eHalcyon - Gizah
Galzria - Babylon
mith - Petra
Qvist - Halikarnassos
Davio - Byzantium
Insomniac - Rome

[shraeye]

seems highly interesting.  My availability depends on when you start.

[mith]

/in, and fine with whatever you want to throw in.

[Galzria]

I'll give it another shot. Maybe I'll even read each turn closer and not make a major mistake at least twice every Age (which is hard to do considering you only get 6 choices - but somehow I managed it so far in 7W-I ).

[Qvist]

Like I said: /in and I have no idea about the expansions. So do whatever you feel what might be best.

[Tables]

shraeye, it'll probably be pretty soon. That's already 3 people who've said they're in, you'd be 4 and 7 is the limit.

[eHalcyon]

In. It will take less time to play than to spectate like I've been doing.

Will play anything. You should consider throwing in the new unreleased wonders; their details have all leaked, I think! 

[Insomniac]

/in please!

[Insomniac]

shraeye, it'll probably be pretty soon. That's already 3 people who've said they're in, you'd be 4 and 7 is the limit.

8 is the limit with cities

[eHalcyon]

shraeye, it'll probably be pretty soon. That's already 3 people who've said they're in, you'd be 4 and 7 is the limit.

8 is the limit with cities

But that's for team play, isn't it?

[shraeye]

I'll have to be out if it starts too soon.

[Insomniac]

shraeye, it'll probably be pretty soon. That's already 3 people who've said they're in, you'd be 4 and 7 is the limit.

8 is the limit with cities

But that's for team play, isn't it?

Haven't read the team rules or 8 player rules sections of the rulebook (don't even know if they're the same section) I just know the box says 8 (I only read the parts that were relevant to me firing up a 2 player game ie the new rules.

[Tables]

Ah, yes, you're right that you can do 8. I'd be equally fine with that, but if anything I was hoping to go smaller rather than larger this time.

Anyway I count... 5 in so far. Okay.

[eHalcyon]

I'd be against having 8 players unless we are playing the team variant.

[eHalcyon]

http://boardgamegeek.com/thread/913345/this-is-the-great-wall-and-more


The new wonders are:

The Great Wall of China
Base resource: cloth

Wonder stages can be built in any order!

Side A:
1: $8 (cost: 2 wood)
2: any one scientific symbol (cost: paper, glass, clay)
3: 2 shields (cost: 3 stone)
4: build a card from the discard for free (cost: 3 ore)

Side B:
(not certain about the costs; leaked images are blurry)
1: $8, neighbours get $2 (cost: 1 paper, 1 wood?)
2: Mask symbol from cities, i.e. copy a neighbour's Science symbol (cost: 1 ore, 2 clay?)
3: Diplomacy token, other players lose $2 (cost: 2 wood, paper?)
4: "Black Market", produces any 1 resource that the player doesn't already produce (cost: 2 stone?)


Abu Simbel
Base resource: paper

This wonder lets you entomb one of your played leaders for VP equal to 2 times its price.  You lose the leader's benefits though.

Side A:
1: 3VP (cost: stone, clay)
2: 5VP (cost: wood, ore)
3: entomb a leader (cost: 2 stone, glass, cloth)

Side B:
(the symbol on these two stages is missing the Leader card that is on the symbol in side A stage 3, so it probably works slightly different)
1: entomb? (cost: 1 cloth, 2 clay)
2: entomb? (cost: 1 glass, 2 wood)

Stonehenge
Base resource: Wood

This wonder gives you VP based on how much Stone you produce.  It isn't clear whether it only works with brown cards or if it counts Stone produced by yellow cards or leaders as well.

Side A:
1: 3VP (cost: ore, clay)
2: 5VP (cost: paper, 2 clay)
3: 2VP per stone (cost: cloth, 3 wood)

Side B:
1: $1 and 1VP per stone (cost: 3 ore)
2: 1VP per card* in neighbouring cities (cost: 3 clay, 1 paper)

* it is not clear what cards it looks for.  The image is white, but it is missing the Leaders logo.  Speculation is that it uses the colour of the card that you use to build the wonder (since the card image goes off the bottom of the board).  Alternatively, it might let the player choose the colour.


Mannekin Pis (remake):
Base resource: +$4

Side A:
1: copy first stage wonder to the left (cost: ?)
2: copy second stage wonder to the right (cost: ?)
3: copy last stage wonder to the left (cost: ?)

Note that this is different from the original Mannekin Pis in that the costs are not set (speculation is that it copies the costs too) and you don't get a choice of neighbour for stage 3.

Side B:
presumably similar to the existing Mannekin Pis side B?  Personal speculation though, maybe it will be like Side A but with the arrows reversed.  






Great Wall A is definitely playable now.  Great Wall B probably, though I'm not sure I have the costs correct for the stages.  Abu Simbel A is playable.  Stonehenge A is playable too, though we'd have to make an assumption about how the Stone counting works exactly.  Mannekin Pis A is playable, though we could just stick with the original promo.

I think it would be really fun to try out the Great Wall.

I'd rather not add in the Wonder Pack until all the rules/costs are known.

I respect that.  Request withdrawn.

Edit: but all the rules and costs ARE known for Great Wall A.

/in, but willing to /out to let new players have a chance.

I'm in agreement with mith - I'd love to add them, but until there's clean information, I'd rather not. Besides, is 12 wonders too few for you eHalc ?

[eHalcyon]

Must have more!

Can I make a case for not including the current Mannekin Pis promo, since for some reason it warranted a remake in the upcoming Wonder pack?

Well, the B side for the promo is pretty funny since it meant getting a beer from the winner. Maybe that's the only thing they removed.

No, the new Mannekin Pis has been partially revealed.  I posted it above!  They changed the costs of the wonders to question marks, probably meaning that it copies costs as well as effects.  And the third stage no longer lets you choose which neighbour to copy.

I'll give this a shot.

And I'm fine with all expansions. I need to read up on Cities.

Okay, that's 7, so I start probably this evening. Might not be until tomorrow, lots of extra setup to do.

Judging by the comments most people are pretty neutral on promos, so I'll make things a little easier and go for just the two expansions.
