About the game

What you do in a play session

If you're a fan of 7 Wonders and have already explored all the wonders of the ancient world, get ready for an even more epic journey with Game Wonders! This is a fan-made expansion designed to inject new life into your base game and official expansions like Leaders and Cities, bringing a touch of gamer nostalgia to your table. Forget pyramids and colossi for a moment and dive into settings inspired by great video game classics. Imagine building Hyrule, the legendary land from The Legend of Zelda, or erecting the temples of Olympus, straight from the God of War universe. Game Wonders isn't just a thematic facelift; it introduces twelve new wonders, each with unique abilities and functionalities that promise to challenge your strategies and open up new gameplay possibilities. You could, for example, play with Transylvania, which strengthens you with every defeated enemy (metaphorically, of course!), or with Jerusalem, which rewards you with extra gold and victory points when your neighbors recruit new leaders. It's a creative and fun way to expand the replayability of one of board gaming's greatest classics, all with the care and passion of the community. If you love 7 Wonders and are looking for something new and unexpected, Game Wonders is the perfect choice to 'upgrade' your experience.
