I don’t want to spoil anything further but trust me that this is a really cool inexpensive expansion that really accelerated my love of this game. By round 4 you will want to ensure that you are able to maximise your scoring and stretch yourself so nothing you produce is wasted. It’s weightier, but it skips that thing that annoyed me about 7 Wonders, which is that it was very difficult to teach because the chaining rules were non-obvious to players who were inexperienced with tech trees. It’s quite a simple game and the joy comes from spotting the combos that will slot neatly into your empire. It’s A Wonderful World, however, makes me uneasy to purchase because I think it could go either way.

The fact that buildings can be built over successive turns means that every card feels like it is a wonder.At this point you have to decide whether you move the cards drafted into your “construction area” or whether you recycle them for their one time recycle resource.

Secret service (1-05): Once per game, during the Planning phase, discard 1 card to draw 3 cards; add one of them to your Draft area, and discard the others.Join the community and come discuss games like Codenames, Wingspan, Brass, and all your other favorite games! Materials are immediately placed on any available cards under construction if possible, and on your empire card if not. Again, this is a problem that could be solved by tiering the cards a bit so that there’s more of a progression. I am running out of creative ways of storing the latest ‘All-In’ pledge and all of the miniatures that inevitably come with it. Overall I would rate this my current favorite drafting card game and a title that is likely to find its way on to my shelf for the long haul as my new go-to drafting game.
