What is Three Wonders, Anyway?
A strategy board game, Three Wonders sets an epic stage for architectural and scientific triumphs as its players take charge. In the ancient times, a player assumes the role of one of three major civilizations—Egypt, Greece, or Rome—and tries to construct wondrous buildings, develop their sciences and military, and outdo other players. Engine-building mechanics, mixed with a dash of area control, make Three Wonders a deep, engaging strategy game.
How to Play
Players take turns drafting cards from the common supply to build a variety of structures on their Wonder boards. Each structure helps you with resources, victory points, or special abilities to develop further. The game is played over three ages that are the Ancient Age, the Classical Age, and the Hellenistic Age. Players draft cards, build wonders, and gain victory points in each age. The game ends after all wonders have been completed; the player with the highest victory points wins.
Tips & Tricks
- Strategy Balance: Build a balanced mix of military, scientific, and cultural wonders to keep your enemy in the dark.
- Resource Management: When it comes to resources, select cards that give you the resources you need: stone, wood, and metal to finish building your wonders.
- Be Adaptive to Your Opponents: Watch what your competitors are doing and change your strategy flow accordingly. Sometimes preventing an opponent from performing a powerful action is just as important as making the move yourself.
