7 Wonders Board Game Just $29.39 Shipped on Amazon (Regularly $60)

Lots of rules so it took us a bit to figure out how to play, but we were able to pick it up after a trial run. It’s a very fun strategic game and we’ve been obsessed with playing! Each game lasts no longer than 30 minutes.

Great game. Everyone plays at once in this one. At the beginning, it makes it a bit tedious to teach because the person teaching can’t be everywhere at once and the game concepts are best understood after a game is played. Also, with all the different cards and colors, it can look quite intimidating. But once everyone knows what they’re doing, this game really shines. It takes less than 45 minutes to play even with 7 players due to the simultaneous nature and really rewards adaptability. This means that new and old players alike can find ways to win and different strategies can lead to victory. My game group in 2013-15 used to use this as our warmup game each week due to its fast pace and simple concepts. The game also has quite a few expansions that add either new dimensions, more options, or more complexity depending on the one that you choose. But I would only recommend getting those if your group really takes to the game. In conclusion, this is one of the most played games in my collection and I would definitely recommend it.
