Money is a crucial resource in 7 Wonders Duel. Take gold cards highly as they give you the financial freedom to take the cards you want later in the game. Don't forget that when you discard a card for coins, you get an extra coin per gold card, which makes them even more valuable. On average, the gold cards net you more money than simply taking resources.

Use the knowledge of how much money your opponent has to your advantage. It might be ok to reveal a card that is very good for them if they don't have enough money to pay for it. You can then build it or discard it on your next turn.

It is more likely than you might think at first for games to end in military or scientific victory. The crux of the game's strategy is whether to commit to one of these paths to victory, or to take just enough military/science so your opponent can't win this way while maintaining a victory point advantage.

Wonders that provide you an extra play are extremely powerful when used at the right moment. A well-timed double play can be the key to snagging a military or science victory in Age III with a card that your opponent would otherwise never reveal to you.

Make sure you are aware of what science symbols are available in each age. There are 4 unique symbols in Age I, and the same 4 appear in Age II. None of these symbols appear in age III, however, which has 2 other unique symbols. The Law scientific symbol counts as an additional symbol, so note at the start of the game if this is available as it greatly increasing the chances of the game ending with a scientific victory. Be aware this token can be found with The Great Library wonder, too, even if it is not revealed at game start.

The Mausoleum is a strong wonder for achieving a scientific victory, as your opponent may often discard a science card to prevent you from getting it, but the Mausoleum allows you to resurrect the science from the discard. You may also decide to discard a science card early (because you can't afford it, for example) knowing you can get it back later.
