7 Wonders New Edition review

7 Wonders New Edition gives each player one of the seven great cities of Antiquity to develop on a military, scientific, cultural and economic level, with a Wonder to build for glory. The Asmodee US store sells it for $59.99 and lists 3 to 7 players, age 10 and up, with an average play time of 30 minutes. Repos Production says the game has no downtime and stays balanced regardless of player count, and the 7 seat maximum makes it the biggest strategy game on this list. That makes it a strong choice for a family of six or a holiday table with grandparents. The trade-offs are the 10+ age rating, the need for at least 3 players and a $59.99 price that is $20 above Catan and Ticket to Ride. Smaller families with younger kids will get more from Ticket to Ride.
