Orhan brought along 7 Wonders which, as the name suggests, involves the building of the 7 wonders of the world and is playable by up to 7 players. After some confusion with the rules, we realised we were listening to the rules summary and the rules booklet was missing, but happily the internet provided, and we could then get stuck into getting even more confused with the full ruleset.
As we started to suspect, this was one of those games that is a lot simpler to play than the rules imply. It's a civilization-type game but with some neat mechanisms to insert rivalry with your nearest neighbours, including utilising their resources, military conflict and the hands of cards rotating around the players every turn.
There are several different strategies to get points - military strength, scientific discoveries, civic buildings - but you can't rely on just one to win you the game. Final scores Adrian 70, Orhan 59, David 58, James 53, Stuart 47, Kieron 41 and Andy 34 (my sums all checked out!).
