City Building – Quite simply, games about building a city. City building games are usually all about efficiency and are almost always also Economic games. They can be about building the most attractive city, the biggest city or the most lucrative city, or could be a combination of all of that.

So by introducing a city building game it is to encourage staff to look at how they can be more efficient at work, develop better outcomes in projects and also learn to be more economical with resources. Here is an excellent game we like to introduce today in City Building:

In the game 7 Wonders, you are the leader of one of the 7 great cities of the Ancient World. Gather resources, develop commercial routes, and affirm your military supremacy. Build your city and erect an architectural wonder which will transcend future times. The game lasts three ages. In each age, players receive seven cards from a particular deck, choose one of those cards, then pass the remainder to an adjacent player. Players reveal their cards simultaneously, paying resources if needed or collecting resources or interacting with other players in various ways. Each player then chooses another card from the deck they were passed, and the process repeats until players have six cards in play from that age.

In essence, 7 Wonders is a card development game. Some cards have immediate effects, while others provide bonuses or upgrades later in the game. Some cards provide discounts on future purchases. Some provide military strength to overpower your neighbors and others give nothing but victory points. Each card is played immediately after being drafted, so you'll know which cards your neighbor is receiving and how her choices might affect what you've already built up. Cards are passed left-right-left over the three ages, so you need to keep an eye on the neighbors in both directions.
