Looks cool. And they have improved the chaining visualisation with the icons instead of vertical text. In 7 wonders i never bothered to do chains as it is just too confusing and annoying to keep reading all the cards to check what you can chain. But I'm not completely sold on that sudden death victory. Part of the fun of the original is the final tallying up of points. If you are building something, collect points and then just win by military, even for you it can be a little disappointing. From an euro gamer perspective.

+ToThePointGames I too actually wish they were the normal size cards. However it already takes up a decent amount of table space for a 2p game, and unlike the ticket to ride cards, the piles of each age are small and are much easier to shuffle that the ticket to ride stack. I'm sure the price point would have been a reasoning too.

+TheGameBoyGeek - Hi Quality Hi Energy Board Game Reviews I bought the game not knowing that the cards were small. So I was disappointed upon opening the box. It turned out to be less of a problem shuffling than I thought. And these pyramids are a table hog. I'd need a ridiculous sized table (and longer arms) to play this game with regular sized cards. Anyway, I'm now glad the cards are small. This game is now is tied with Star Wars Risk as my favorite two player.

Oh, and playing this and the original could be confusing because of some changes. Like when you discard a card, you receive coins for yellow cards also. I understand that they wanted to make this type of cards more attractive. But now you have to remember not to mix up rules. I can see how someone playing regular 7 wonders gets 6 science cards and yells "i won!" :D P. S. Yeah, i know there are only 3 types of science cards in the original :)

Are 7 wonders "7W" cards and 7 wonders duel "7WD" the same? Because I got 7WD and its cards are so small. So I wonder if I buy 7W: Can I play with those cards both games?
