This intriguing game is designed around several unique factors. First of all, each player begins with a different board featuring one of the Seven Ancient Wonders the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, The Great Pyramid of Giza, etc. The boards share similar features although each one has distinctive characteristics. Each board has 2-3 benefits (+coins, + points, etc.) as well as one resource it produces. There are three rounds in the game, referred to as ages. Each age has its own deck of cards, and at the beginning of an age players are dealt seven cards. They pick a card to play and then pass the remaining cards to their neighbor, strategically choosing cards from each hand that will benefit them the most. There are seven different types of cards, including resource cards, which are needed to buy most of the other cards. In the first age, the cards are inexpensive and players build up their resources and lay the foundation for the game. By the third age the cards are fairly expensive and it's crucial to make the best decisions in which cards you build, and which ones you allow to be passed on to your neighbors! At the end of the third age, players tally their points to reveal who got the most victory points to win the game. With a lot of variation between games due to the differing boards, randomness of the card decks, variety of winning strategies, and even the difference of whoever you happen to be sitting by, this one offers a lot of re-playability. 2-7 players. Please note that some cards such as "the Baths" and "the Temple" show partial nudity and you may wish to alter these before playing.
