That said, you are definitely going to be best rewarded for building an engine that flows materials to you so you can build more cards and maximize majority bonuses for victory points, and it is very satisfying when you can do so. The civs in It’s a Wonderful World do just that; they provide some starting production capital (for every subsequent production round, mind you) as well as a scoring condition (on the a-side of the card).

The fact that they included adjustments for 2 players is great, and while I haven’t yet tried the solo game it seems like it will give you much of the feel of the regular game, and it is especially relevant in our current situation. For being just colors and numbers, it’s got such a clever system that feels good when you “combo out” during a production phase.And, if like me, games (and everything else, really) make you think of songs, this one has an obvious choice right off the bat. Taking a cue from some of the great civilizations through history, we can see that when the need to work for preservation and the pursuit of progress fades and prosperity runs rampant, the population indulges in self and often collapses under itself. He’s not generally very effusive in his praise of games, so I was immediately intrigued and picked up a copy, and I am so glad I did.

During the draft phase, players will draft 7 cards by selecting one card from a hand of cards before passing the remaining to the next player. But once built will give you some kind of benefit each turn and maybe a little bonus when you first complete it too. At the start of a game, players open an envelope containing the story, the special rules of the scenario and the extra cards for this scenario.If I play the C01 “War or Peace” campaign in SOLO mode, the cards “Hacking (1-04)” and “Secret service (1-05)” are useless. Those in your constructed are considered “Under Construction” and the recycled ones are discarded and you collect the Recycling bonus resource cube. In Draft Phase players will each obtain 7 face-down drafted cards from the deck and take one card and pass the rest to either their right or left. I regularly play both solo and multiplayer and there aren’t too many surprises the game can throw at me.

Otherwise, the game plays exactly as before – just with new possibilities and challenges to building your country into the powerhouse you knew it should be.The ‘discard two, draw five, keep one’ mechanism is like getting another shot at trying to get that one card your engine needs, be it extra points or a card to sink your otherwise abundant resource X into. Everybody will reveal the card they chose, much to the interest of the other players and then each player will get a new hand of cards from another player. It seems like you only have so much time to do everything you want and you can’t seem to do it-a perfect feeling for this type of strategy game.
