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.

Civilization Building Strategy Perfection
I have yet to play Civilization VI, but Civilization V has been my favorite in the series so far. They switched tiles from being four-sided to five-sided, and that extra direction adds plenty of nuance to the game by itself. Military units are streamlined, cities get bigger and better looking as they grow, and it's always a joy to see the wonders you build appear in the landscape. I've sunk a lot of time into full length matches, and usually prefer to win through military action or science, but I have managed a few diplomatic victories as well. The religion system has never really interested me, but I'm sure winning that way appeals to some. It's a great and massive game to get lost in.

Multiple Strategies
Variability
A re-imagining of the themes of 7 Wonders aka drafting and civilization building for a 2 player scenario. I love this game as it utilizes some public and hidden information to make every decision count. The draft setups allow for planning and many different strategies exist. It's a wonderful take on the core themes of the original game and makes it even better! The card quality isn't the best so it's best to get some sleeves for them.

Great two player adaptation
My wife and I like this game for its smaller table footprint, speedy turn play and the play time is not extensive. This game is about creating your own ancient civilization. There are multiple paths to victory, and it is important that you think out your goal based on the cards laid before you and observing what your opponent is doing. You can achieve victory through military might, having a strong economy to get lots of money, or just building the best buildings and getting your wonders made.

Note this is for the same game as played on iOS, but wasn't able to select that as a platform.
This was an attempt to give a version of the Civilization games on a mobile platform. For me it just didn't work. Yes you had the key things from the main games such as City building, exploration and everything, but the sizes of the maps just made it impossible to move around after only a few short turns due to expanding rival cities blocking off the path.
I prefer to play a less warmongery style but you're forced into battling rivals in this version simply because you can't get anything done if you don't.
