![]() ![]() ![]() In 7 Wonders a player starts an “Age” with a 7 card hand, he then picks one card to sell, obtain/buy or bury under his Wonder board and pass the remaining cards in his hand to his neighbor. They are usually lost to your civilization, but they may be just what your neighbor is looking for. ![]() That is, some highly valuable cards cost resources you can’t produce or even buy from your neighbors. The three cards I’d bury under my Wonder board, in order to build my own Wonder, are cards my “downstream neighbor” either badly needs or is concentrating on (I.E., if he can’t produce bricks I’d bury a brick card, if he is concentrating on science I’d bury a science card that I can’t otherwise obtain for myself. He has not yet completed the third stage of his Wonder, which is not a requirement in any case. This player decided to bypass Science (green) and Guild (purple) cards and concentrate on military (red) cards and infrastructure (blue). If you can’t beat both of your neighbors, thing won’t turn out too badly as long as you are stronger than one of them. You don’t want to go head-to-head for military power as you can use up a lot of cards to win an arms race. I try to stay ahead of my neighbors in military strength, but if one of them is going strong military I’d cut my losses. As it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to set up a trading post to buy discounted goods your neighbors aren’t producing.Ĥ. ![]() I’d check to see which resources my neighbors are producing and use that to determine which Trading Post cards (the yellow/orange ones) I’ll buy. In other words, I can then use the remaining 9 – 10 cards to generate the VPs I’ll need to get to 55+ VPs, which is usually the minimum number of Victory Points needed to win a game.ģ. This, plus the three cards usually needed to build the three stages of my Wonder, totals 8 – 9 cards out of the 18 I’ll receive during an entire game. I try to keep the total number of brown (basic resources), gray (processed resources, like glass or textiles) and yellow/orange (trading post cards normally) to around 5 – 6. (Apparently one of his neighbors also did not obtain a military strength point during his First Age.) But the Babylon player was able to concentrate on collecting 8 science cards and 67 VPs for the win – BGG.Ģ. He thus lost – 5 VP due to being defeated by his neighbors 5 out of 6 times. Babylon won with 67 Victory Points by concentrating on science and staying away from military cards entirely. ![]()
