The wonders give you points, maybe resources, allow you to surround buildings and to get adjacency to natural resources for a single gold. It´s a lot!!

Alex, I love your videos man and I watch you more than any other channel besides The Dice Tower so this is not me bashing you or nitpicking you I just found this fascinating. I noticed a few videos ago that you say the phrase “over here” quite a bit. I counted in this video and in the first four minutes you said over here 23 times lol I just thought you might find that interesting. Keep up the good videos man.

I really like this game, the restrictions are the thing that makes it so interesting for me just as you mentioned. One thing that bugs me though is that I feel like the wonders are not the real star, sometimes I even feel like the optimal play might be to mostly ignore them. They often break your districts and/or roads, and might make you do suboptimal choices during the game just to get them. And in a 3-4 players game it definately doesn't worth to drop out from the turn because of them. I feel like it should have been agonizing decision to drop out early for a great wonder, but currently they are just good to have things that give you very little extra at the end of the turn, but might ruin your districts/roads.

Yep love me some polyomino. Have in the collection Foundations of Rome, World of Wonders, Grand Carnival, Feast for Odin, Patchwork, BarenPark... I think that's all? I'm probably missing one.

Is this the same company that made Foundations of Rome? I'm a bit puzzled why this game's art looks so ugly compared to that, imo.

I wish the art and graphic design was more inspiring because love me some polynomials! Still, I will try it out if I get the chance.

I appreciate the review, but I find a little bit inconsistent that you want the game to be tighter with 2 players and at the same time wants more predictability (like the order of the wonders to be fixed). The randomness makes the game more challeging and adds replayability value. I also agree with Fabio that the Wonders do a lot. Their size will help you with one play cover edges of the tiles and reach natural resources. Overall, I really enjoyed the video and the pace you present your thoughts.

Totally agree about it lacking at 2 players. Unfortunately, because of that, I’m probably gonna have to let it go.

Great question! I was wondering about the same. I think that Planet Unknown is a bit more complicated, no?

This is such a satisfying polyomino puzzle. It's always great to look at your city you've build, with all those world wonders :)

To tighten up the two player game, maybe you could add the solo deck as a simulated third player?

A few modifications would have to be made: 1. The rules say the Automa always goes first. The two players would only be able to buy the second player token. 2. The round would end once both players’ rounds come to an end. 3. I’m not sure how to handle scoring for the Automa. Perhaps add the highest resource tracks between the two players to figure out its score? That would require some play testing.

With 3 or 4 players - does it make sense, that you just put out 5 wonders to be more flexible?

I've been intrigued by this one but gonna wait for Foundations of Metropolis before deciding which one to get. I prefer a little more player interaction in my games these days.
