points may seem like a lot but a few small differences and I think it's a winnable game. It's much easier to say that in hindsight of course. You can play with Empires that start with the exact same production (my preferred method), or you can flip the Empire card over and introduce variable starting productions to the game. I like that this option was included in the game. Otherwise, this game is fantastic! I love drafting games. For me, every round presents a new tactical opportunity requiring you to evaluate a set of cards to determine which to keep and which to pass. It’s a Wonderful World uses three mechanisms to differentiate itself from all other drafting games: Beyond that though, I have to say I prefer the moment-to-moment gameplay of It’s a Wonderful World to 7 Wonders. The fact that buildings can be built over successive turns means that every card feels like it is a wonder. It also means that you have a little more flexibility with how you progress. There was always that turn in 7 Wonders when every card you draw just doesn’t work for you, or perhaps you couldn’t buy the resources you need.Each card has a name, an icon indicating its card type, and the number of copies of it in the game (labelled A, B, and C respectively in the picture above). Cards also have a Construction Cost (D); these are the resources a player must gather for the card if it’s in their Construction Area. What is really nice about It’s a Wonderful World is that it works well at all player counts. I can think of very few drafting games that play solo and not many more that play well at two without large modifications to the rules. Not the case here, as both solo and two-player modes require very small rules modifications to work. Each card you take can be discarded for a resource cube as pictured in the lower right, or played into your tableau to be built. Cards have resource costs down the top left side and during the production phase you will place resources on these, adding them to your city once fully built. Also worth noting you should finish Research Center before Financial Center as you already produce more than the 2 yellow you need, but only produce 1 out of the 4 green you need. This would also win you the green bonus this round That doesn’t really happen with It’s a Wonderful World. Each of the cards can be discarded for a particular resource. If you don’t get the resource you need that way, you can always trade-in what you do have for a wild resource. It may not be the most efficient way to play but it does mean you never feel like you’ve got no way to progress.

You want to be careful and aware of what you are passing to your neighbour since It’s a Wonderful World is a drafting and engine building game. The last thing you want is to feed an opponent’s thriving Empire. Make Way in the World – Planning Phase I’d say favourably . 7 Wonders has some advantages, for sure. The higher player count shouldn’t be discounted, (although an expansion to It’s a Wonderful World also takes it up to 7 players). 7 Wonders definitely has more interaction than It’s A Wonderful World. With the war mechanic as well as the neighbour resource trading, you are definitely more invested in what at least some of the table is doing in a game of 7 Wonders. It’s Lonely at the Top At the start of a game, players open an envelope containing the story, the special rules of the scenario and the extra cards for this scenario. Then, at the end of the game, each player receives different rewards depending on whether he won or lost and according to his own choices during the game (depending on the scenario). And I lost.. when no yellow cards appears and jsut a few, your opponent can deny it too these cards.. I felt so much dependant of the randomness for this gameEach player begins the game with a “Starting Town” card. This “Starting Town” offers a special scoring bonus as well as a first production capacity.A game is played in 4 rounds and each round is divided into two phases, Draft and Production. During the draft phase, players will draft 7 cards by selecting one card from a hand of cards before passing the remaining to the next player. Leisure & Decadence is the second campaign for your eclectic IAWW world, where, on any given play of the base game, your people may find themselves just about simultaneously discovering Valhalla, teleportation and the zeppelin. Now there are 48 more cards, the chance to add a 6th player, another empire card, and some extra resources and tokens. But when I say “more cards”, I mean seriously shake-it-up style cards: It can definitely happen, particularly if scoring cards show up early while you're building your engine and then don't appear later. It's really hard to know when you need to take scoring cards and when you need to keep working on production. Ideally you do both in each round, but that's not always possible.
