This is a game that I would consider a modern board gaming classic. A map is made up of various resource tiles, ranging from sheep, ore, wood, clay and wheat. Up to 4 players pit themselves against one another to achieve 10 victory points, either from building additional settlements (you start with 2, each one being worth 1 point), upgrading settlements to a city (1 extra point per city), owning the longest road, having the largest army (determined by the number of knight cards drawn from a deck), or achieving victory points directly through acquisition from said deck. This is a game where it is important to ensure you have a good mix of resources, as they are all required at some stage, as well as negotiating with the other players for appropriate resources. They will of course scupper your efforts along the way, so it is a fine line between getting what you want Vs satisfying your need for revenge when someone manages to steal some of your resources or builds a settlement on a spot you needed. In terms of strategy, one should always remember that this game is based on die rolls and is therefore strategy based on chance. To make the best of the game, it is often prudent to seek to have settlements on locations which may provide for the full spread of resources as well as having a port position to allow for trading with the bank, where other players will not oblige. Additionally, 2 roads are require dbetween each settlement, therefore working towards a triangual position of three settlements is optimal, where possible, based on where other players are on the board.

Card Drafting and Civilization building at it's finest, with a large player count which is so hard to find.
love this game, plus it's 2 player version 7 Wonders Duel. it's a really great light to medium weight game about how you choose to build your civilization. You start with a wonder, which gives you a starting power/resource, then you build from there by adding card to your tableau which in turn gives you the ability to buy more things. you can build your military and bully your neighbors, or focus on knowledge, or make sure your civilization is rich with resources and money, and trade with your neighbors... Each thing you do builds up to doing more. Great Game especially showcases what modern games can do and still good for relative beginners to the Board game world.
