7 Wonders rose up in 2010 and solved one of board gaming's oldest problems: downtime. Instead of waiting for your turn, everyone plays at once, each drafting a card from their hand and passing the rest along, building an ancient civilization over three quick ages. A game for seven people takes about the same time as a game for three.
That simultaneous 'draft and pass' mechanic, paired with the satisfying construction of a wonder of the ancient world, made it an award-winning hit and a favorite for larger groups who'd grown tired of waiting around.
Fast, draft-and-pass, and downtime-killing, 7 Wonders is the civilization-builder that let a whole table play at once and never sit idle.
