7 Wonders is a light game (weight 3/10). Despite the modest rules footprint, the decision space is deep (6/10) — the kind of game that rewards a dozen plays. Decisions come at a steady pace (7/10) — engaged without being exhausting. There's meaningful but indirect interaction (interaction 5/10) — shared resources, catch-up effects, or watch-and-react moments. Direct conflict exists but is contained (4/10).
Of every game in our catalog, 7 Wonders is closest to Lords of Waterdeep (93% profile match) but scores higher on density (7 vs. 6).
Every score is on a 0–10 scale. The rubric and methodology behind these numbers is documented in the README.
