DRAFTING
Words by Sam Desatoff
In 2010, 7 Wonders released to critical and commercial success, and has since won dozens of awards, seen a host of expansions and achieved mainstream esteem thanks to a presence on the shelves of big-box stores around the world. The game’s core mechanic of card drafting is easy enough to understand – choose one card from your hand to keep, and pass the rest to your neighbour – but 7 Wonders is hardly the only game to utilise it, and is certainly not the first.
