   Luck has a big role and that is not a good idea when you want to build a strategy based on your wonder.

   I played the first edition of 7 Wonders twice a few years ago. I liked it but it was not on my list of favourite board games, however, this new version is. My review is regarding playing with people aged 20 to 30 years old. When first reading the instructions, they seem complex but understandable. However, explaining them to new players is quite hard as there are many intricate mechanics that only come into play at the end of the game. The first play was slow and a couple of the rules were misinterpreted. The good thing is that was VERY easy to find clarification for the weirdest mechanics of the cards online. Despite that, the game was very enjoyable and everyone was excited to play again now they understood the rules. The second game was much easier and you can see the development of strategies now that everyone understands how to win. After that, this is quite an enjoyable game and everyone was happy to play more. In terms of replayability, there are 14 different settings of the board and several strategies that one can attempt to win. This makes the game have a large replayability value, even if you want to keep playing the same game for an entire game. The design of the game, cards and boards is lovely - I was very happy with it. However, I think the boards could have been a bit sturdier. One of my boards was also badly printed. This does not affect the gameplay but makes it less pretty. Beware of this. Overall I am quite happy with the game and after playing it a bit more, I am considering buying the expansion packs.
