World Wonders Strategy Board Game

About this product

Build the greatest city of the ancient world.

A thoughtful city-building strategy game for players who enjoy planning, monuments, resources, and clever tile placement.

Spend your gold wisely, grow your city, place iconic monuments, and compete to build the most impressive ancient city.

Product Description

In World Wonders, players take on the role of ancient leaders building the most glorious city of the age.

Each round, you use your gold to add roads, buildings, towers, and monuments to your city map. Buildings help increase your resource production, while a stronger economy helps your population grow. Roads open up new placement options, and monuments can bring big points if you can fit them into your city at the right time.

But every choice matters. Your opponents may be aiming for the same buildings or monuments, and once your gold is spent, your turn for the round is over. Plan carefully, build smartly, and create a city worthy of history.

The player with the most victory points at the end of the game wins.
