To build a wonder stage, a player must pay the resource cost listed on the stage, then put an age card underneath the wonder board in the appropriate place. The Wonder boards have from two to four stages, shown at the bottom of the board. Instead of building a structure, a player may choose either to discard an Age card to earn three coins from the bank or to use the card to build a stage of his or her wonder. A player lacking the resources available may pay his direct neighbors to use their resources, normally at two coins per resource, if available.

To build a structure, a player must first pay the construction cost, in coins or in one or more of the seven resource types, then lay it down by his or her Wonder board. At this point, each player must choose to play one of his remaining two cards and discard the other.Įach age card represents a structure, and playing a card is referred to as building a structure. This process is repeated until five out of the seven cards have been played.
