7 Wonders - How to Play

How to Play 7 Wonders

[@ruthlessandevil]

This is exactly what you want out of an instructional vid, no messing, no idiot pontificating for half an hour telling you not much else other than he loves the sound of his own voice. Spot on.

[@dimitrisperdikou3575]

Excellent explanation, much better than the rulebook.

[@SuperArrrgh]

Very nicely explained! I just wanted to make sure we played this correctly, without having to read the rule book.

[@austinpundit6321]

Groan. You want to play a game without reading the rules????

[@98Goober]

Great job! Very clear instructions! Thank you!

What is the size of the cards. Is it 6.6 x 9.3.

[@chucky369]

At ~5:29 you claim that "You can ONLY buy 1 of each resource from each Neighboring Player". However, this is clearly a mistake on your part. As long as the neighbor I wish to buy from has e.g. 2 wood available, I am allowed to buy 2 wood from that neighbor.The rulebook even provides an example of this scenario, on page 5: "Example B : during a game turn, both neighboring cities buy from her 2 Stones for a total of 8 coins (2 per resource). In the same turn, she can build a Library (cost : 2 Stones + 1 Textile) thanks to her resources, even though she has sold them to her neighboring cities."

[@austinpundit6321]

I thought that didn't sound right, from my limited experience.

[@leroray8147]

Agree you can trade as much as they have in brown gray cards + the one initially produced by the city. please, Board Game Essentials put a pinpoint remark in the video that this is not correct. It is not a shame a lot of game reviewers make mistakes on many rules and then correct the video with pinpoints and written text.

[@Lingewaard]

I think he meant you can only buy 1 wood from a neighbour who has only 1 wood production, so you cannot buy 2 or more wood from him. If that neighbour has 2 wood production, you can of course buy up to 2 wood from him. You can also buy additional resources from the same neighbour.

[@sairam71]

@@Lingewaard its this. Please put a clarification that its based on production. If played commerce wrong it fundamentally breaks game design. with 92k views i bet you majority understood this wrong.

This is my favorite board game! I found a useful app for this board game on the App Store: 7 Wonders: Score Table

[@PapercraftingAdventures]

This is such a great tutorial. Thank you!

[@krishokanson1881]

Great instructional. Nice production. Very clear. Lots of work went into this. And seriously, who cares how he pronounced "papyrus". Sheesh.

[@OldMovieRob]

This was helpful. So when building a wonder, you can 1) use ANY card, as long as you can pay the cost, and 2) the card used to build the wonder COULD be a duplicate of an existing structure, but it's ok because it's played face down, correct?

[@MortenCB]

When showing the green cards points, you have identical cards. No-one is allowed to have more than one card with the same name on it, so that would be illegal.

[@TheCrankyOldGamerBG]

Good video! Just a quick note..."papyrus" is with a long Y. "puh-PYE-russ". You said "PAP-uh-russ"

[@matedajka5254]

You must be fun at parties!

[@cdj81175]

Love the video! Great job. Very clear and concise. I am still a little confused by by one thing with commerce. Is it possible to by more than one resource from one neighbor if they have more than one available? For example if my neighbor to my right has 2 wood symbols available. can I buy 2 wood from them for the cost of 2 resources? (4 coins) in the same turn. In your video you said you can only buy one from each neighbor. Not a huge deal but I was getting conflicting answers from websites, the rules book, and your video. I am ok with it either way, just looking to see how everyone else plays. Can't wait to check out your other videos. This definitely made preparing for my board game night way easier. Keep up the good work.

Now I know how to play since the rule book was useless

[@robbyclausel3046]

Ditto

[@theepicenter4106]

@6:50 "Each stage can only be built once per game..." I got no clue what you meant...

[@bostjanretelj422]

Good job

[@Thesussysuscat]

So when you buy resources from a neighbor do you actually take them. I've never played.

[@PapercraftingAdventures]

No, I don't think so!

[@austinpundit6321]

I refer to the green cards as writing, mathematics and engineering. Or publishing, I guess.

[@marvels320]

great thank you

Please make a video on Hive!

[@BoardGameEssentials]

+Andrés López I don't own a copy of Hive but that is a game I could see us teaching!

[@pampalass]

whats the music at 7:29 ?

[@toppu10animes]

Is it fun?

[@PMMagro]

Yes, it is fun and fast to play. A bit indirect with many players though- not really conflict then between all players. if you want conflict check out the 7 Wonders duel, only for two players but AWSOME.

[@austinpundit6321]

Only played it once, but I quite enjoyed it.

[@sweetcream8946]

Thanks for the clear explanations. I like the theme and gameplay but the scoring seems quite laborious, so I think I'll pass on this game.

It's actually fast and easy. 'course its not a running competition where the winner is easily states (most of the time), but it's not so complicated...

[@austinpundit6321]

Its actually not too bad. I didn't like the tiny notepad thingy that comes with the game, so I made up a similar table on A4 size paper, with space for names. It was pretty easy to do.

[@VULTUSPRIME]

The game looks interesting but the scoring system just kills it

Can you play this with only 2 players

[@JerreMuesli]

Yes. Box states 2 to 7 players. See boardgamegeek dot com where all this info is available
