<hr />
<div>==Objective==<br />
Draft dinosaurs and place them in different zones to get the most points.<br />
<br />
==Gameplay==<br />
* The game consists of 2 rounds (or 4 rounds in a 2-player game).<br />
* Each player draws 6 dinosaurs from the bag.<br />
* The player with the placement die rolls it.<br />
* Each player chooses a dinosaur and places it in their zoo at the same time, following the rules on the placement die (except the roller, who can place anywhere).<br />
* In a 2-player game, each player then discards one of the remaining dinosaurs (you might like to imagine it was loaned to an overseas petting zoo).<br />
* Each player passes their dinosaur bag and placement die (if they had it) to their left.<br />
* Repeat until all dinosaurs are placed.<br />
* After 2 rounds, proceed to scoring.<br />
* At the end of the game you'll have placed 12 dinosaurs: 6 in round 1, 6 in round 2.<br />
* In the event of a tie, the player who has fewest T-Rexes wins. If they are still tied, the players share the win.<br />
* There are 6 species of dinosaurs, distributed as follows:<br />
** 5p: 60 dinos. 10 x 6 different species <br />
** 4p: 48 dinos. 8 x 6 different species<br />
** 3p: 36 dinos. 6 x 6 different species<br />
** 2p: 48 dinos. 8 x 6 different species<br />
<br />
==Placement Dice==<br />

<br />
==Pens==<br />
* Each zoo has 6 pens and a river.<br />

<hr />
<div>== Overview ==<br />
<br />
In [https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/68448/7-wonders 7 Wonders] your aim is to make your civilization thrive over three ''ages'', by ramping up your production of raw and/or manufactured goods, building different types of constructions, and taking care of your relations with your neighbors. During the game, you can also build and upgrade your ''wonder'', which gives you additional advantages (points or capabilities).<br />
<br />
The player with the most points at the end of the game wins.<br />
<br />
== Table setup ==<br />
<br />
Number of players:<br />
* it is possible to play with 3 to 7 players on BoardGameArena.<br />
* BoardGameArena suggests 4 players<br />
* [https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/68448/7-wonders BoardGameGeek community] suggests 4-5 players.<br />
<br />
Choices:<br />
* ''Game mode'': normal and training<br />
* ''Game speed'': as any other game<br />
* ''Wonder board side'': allow players to choose their preferred side of their Wonder board, or set it randomly<br />
<br />
== Preparation ==<br />
<br />
If ''Wonder board side'' has been set to ''Choose Wonder side'', at the very beginning the players can choose between two sides of their Wonder board. Side A is usually easier to accomplish.<br />
<br />
== Gameplay ==<br />
<br />
The game proceeds over 3 ''ages'', each comprising 6 rounds.<br />
<br />
=== Card drafting rounds ===<br />
<br />
A round is simple: you are shown a hand of cards, you take one of them and perform one action with it, then the hand is moved on to the ''next'' player (shown by the ''hands rotation'' arrow). All players do this at the same time.<br />
<br />
Each age starts with 7 cards in each hand. The last round happens when the player has two cards in the hand: one is selected, the other is discarded.<br />
<br />
For each card, there can be three to four actions that you can take, shown when you hover on the card:<br />
<br />
* Construct (arrow pointing to card thumbnails): add the specific card to your capabilities, paying its associated cost if any. The cost is shown on the top left of the card; a symbol over it shows if you are allowed to do this move:<br />
** a red cross indicates that you don't have and can't gather the necessary resources to construct<br />
** a yellow check mark with a number indicates how much you have to pay your neighbors to gather the necessary resources<br />
** a green check mark shows that you can construct with your own resources only<br />
<br />
* Build wonder stage (arrow pointing to a layered pyramid): use this card as a marker on the lower side of the Wonder board, gaining the shown advantages (e.g. victory points, or capabilities). The Wonder plan can only be deployed passing through the stages in order, from left to right. A symbol below the next stage you can build shows you if it's possible to build it or not, with the same convention as explained above for constructing a card;<br />
<br />
* Sell the card for three coins (arrow pointing to a coin with a 3 inside)<br />
<br />
* Construct a card (arrow pointing to a blank card with a red cross on the top-left corner): this is optionally shown to players who have this capability, provided by one of their wonder stage. Once per age, it's possible to construct a card without paying its cost.<br />
<br />
Some wonder stages provide additional capabilities:<br />
<br />
* Construct a card for free in each age: as described above<br />
* Play last card (two blank cards with a green check mark): the last card in each age is usually discarded, but the player with this capability can play it (with the usual rules regarding the cost)<br />
* Construct a discarded card for free (many blank cards, the bigger with a red cross on it): the player can look through all discarded cards so far and build it for free<br />
* Copy neighboring guilds (purple card with two triangles on the sides): the player will get additional points depending on the cards equipped by the neighbors at the end of the match.<br />
<br />
=== Fighting ===<br />
<br />
After the last card-drafting round, the age is ended and the fighting phase begins. Military capabilities are compared to award victory or lose points. This is done automatically, but you get too see how you score with an animation.<br />
<br />
== End of game Scoring ==<br />
<br />
The game ends at the end of the third Age, after the Conflict tokens have been handed out.<br />
Each player totals their civilization points and the player with the highest total is declared the winner.<br />
In case of a tie, the player with the most coins in his or her treasury is the winner. A tie on coins is not broken further<br />
<br />
Points are counted from 7 categories in the following order:<br />
=== Military Conflicts ===<br />
<br />
Each player adds their Victory and Defeat tokens (this total can be negative!).<br />
=== Treasury Contents ===<br />
<br />
For every 3 coins in their possession at the end of the game, players score 1 victory point. Leftover coins score no points.<br />
<br />
=== Wonders ===<br />
<br />
Each player then adds to their score the victory points from their wonder.<br />
<br />
=== Civilian Structures ===<br />
<br />
Each player adds the victory points of their Civilian structures. This amount is indicated on each Civilian structure.<br />
<br />
=== Scientific Structures ===<br />
<br />
The scientific cards earn victory points in two very different ways: from sets of identical symbols and from sets of 3 different symbols.<br />
Be careful : the victory points earned by both methods are cumulative.<br />
<br />
==== Sets of identical symbols ====<br />
For each of the 3 existing scientific symbols, the player wins the following<br />
points:<br />
* only 1 symbol : 1 victory point<br />
* 2 identical symbols: 4 victory points<br />
* 3 identical symbols: 9 victory points<br />
* 4 identical symbols: 16 victory points<br />
<br />
Note:<br />
* the number of points gained is equal to the number of symbols squared.<br />
* there are 4 green cards for each symbol, for a maximum of 16 victory points per family of symbols.<br />
* this maximum can be increased with the Scientific Guild and the Wonder of Babylon: 5 identical symbols earn 25 victory points and 6 identical symbols earn 36 victory points.<br />
<br />
==== Sets of 3 different symbols ====<br />
<br />
For each group of 3 different symbols, each player scores 7 victory points.<br />
<br />
=== Commercial Structures ===<br />
<br />
Some commercial structures from Age III grant victory points.<br />
<br />
=== Guilds ===<br />
<br />
Each Guild is worth a number of victory points depending on the configuration of the player’s city and/or that of the two neighboring cities (see description of the structures)</div>Scottish
