Pros
- Rules are clearly presented on the player boards; actions are printed on them, handy.
- Bottom-to-top building mechanic gives a clear progression for constructing the wonder.

- Negotiation adds social interaction and strategic depth.

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- build — Build obelisks or support buildings; you can build multiple wonder segments, but only one support building; building from bottom to top.
- claim — Claim any one supply to its entirety as resources as supplies grow.
- Leader cards (expansion) — Leader cards provide a one-time ability; can be flipped to reveal, and may be canceled or altered by other mechanics.
- Produce — Draw three resources; choose two to keep; the remaining goes to the supply.
- sell — Sell matching resources to gain coins; coins act as wild resources.
- Trading — Sell matching resources to gain coins; coins act as wild resources.
