How to play 7 Wonders, in brief
Three to seven players grow ancient cities over three ages, each choosing one card at a time from hands that pass around the table. The most points after Age III wins.
- Take a wonder board and 3 coinsEach age, everyone is dealt 7 cards from that age’s deck.
- Everyone picks at onceChoose a card in secret, then all reveal. Build it, use it for your wonder’s next stage, or discard it for 3 coins. Buy a resource you lack from a neighbor for 2 coins.
- Pass your handPass the rest left in Age I, right in Age II, left in Age III. On the 6th turn, discard the last card.
- Compare armiesAt the end of each age, compare the shields on your red cards with each neighbor’s. After Age III, add up your points.
Seven lines, and science is the tricky one.
Military is settled at the end of each age; everything else waits for the end of Age III. Most lines are a matter of reading your cards. Science is worked out from the symbols on your green cards.

- Fighting the whole tableYou compare shields only with your two neighbors, once at the end of each age.
- Counting coins one for oneIt is 1 point per 3 coins, and the leftovers are lost.
- Forgetting defeats are negativeEach loss is minus 1, whatever the age, so a military line can be below 0.
