How it plays

7 Wonders Architects is a quick, family version of 7 Wonders. Each player builds one wonder, stage by stage. On your turn you take one card: the top card of your own pile, the pile of the player to your left, or the pile on your right.

Cards give you materials, science, military shields or points. Collecting the right materials builds the next stage of your wonder. The game ends when someone completes their wonder, and points decide the winner. It plays in about 25 minutes.
