Light and accessible, but very different to the original

I really enjoy 7 Wonders: Architects. It misses out on most of the subtlety and cleverness of the original 7 Wonders, and doesn't have the magic scalability that comes from the original's simultaneous play, BUT what you get is a game that is really easy to explain and get up and running with just about any group and still plays out very quickly. The wonder tiles are great: you can see your wonder being built throughout the game, which I love. Plus the organiser trays are very well executed.

Overall, many hobby gamers might find this game a bit lightweight and superficial, but I love it as a light palate-cleanser, or as something to play with more casual gamers, or to introduce folk to my hobby.

7 Wonders Lite

A delightful straightforward version, almost an introduction to the 7 Wonders world. The art is bright and colourful, and some of the wonders are just beautiful. It plays so quickly that we never play just one game - it's always two or three. Some may find this too light compared with the original, but we enjoy it a lot. It's similar but different. Still scratches the itch, when you fancy a simpler game.

In 7 Wonders: Architects, 2-7 players race to become a leader of the ancient world by completing an architectural wonder that will last through the ages.

7 Wonders: Architects empowers up to seven players to race to become a leader of the Ancient World by completing an architectural wonder that will last through the ages. Players receive an unconstructed Wonder at the beginning of the game, and must collect resources to build their society, develop military might to navigate conflicts, oversee resource management, research science improvements, and collect civil victory points as they race to leave their mark on World History. Each game of 7 Wonders: Architects is unique as players deploy different strategies to win, giving the game high replay value and allowing fans of the 7 Wonders franchise to easily bring friends and family into the fold. The rules have been re-imagined from the ground-up with family gameplay in mind, making for a quicker, easier to understand and more family friendly experience.

  • Build your wonder on the table using high-quality pieces, true-to-life scale recreations of the world’s greatest hits from Ancient History 
  • Easy-to-understand rules and mechanics designed to welcome new players into the 7 Wonders universe 
  • High quality game pieces, artwork and materials that all come together to make 7 Wonders: Architects a lighter and more colourful version of the game players already know and love
