7 Wonders is a card drafting game for two to seven players, based upon the original seven ancient wonders of the world as defined by Antipater of Sidon in the fourth century BC. Each player takes on the task of building one of the wonders over a period of three ages. Each age has its own deck containing cards of different colors. These cards represent the different types of structures or goods available and grant a mixture of resources for use in the game. The winner is the player with the most victory points. Each of the expansions builds upon the core gameplay of the original by introducing new mechanics and ways to score points.
The 2nd edition features:
A larger box
Updated box and card art

Changes in card layout and design with some changes in iconography
