Why It's On The List

• The gorgeous wooden "wonders" pieces is what drew me to the game. Imagine my very pleasant surprise that there's a solid drafting/city-building game to go along with all the pretty stuff.

Tips & Tricks:

• Don't avoid loans altogether - there are times where it is absolutely worth it build a particular wonder or draft a specific tile.
• You have to watch what other players are doing. Spending lots of time and resources to set up a wonder build is potentially wasted if someone else is doing it faster than are.

Extras

• The Mundo expansion has some interesting new wonders to add to the game... as well as a different version of those wonders with additional complications.
• There are some promo wonders I'd love to own - especially Mont St. Michel. There's also a Europa wonders expansion I have on my wishlist.
• This is the third new-to-my-top-100 game on the countdown.
