GameZebo: "The third edition of the 7 Wonders series sends you on a journey to nine countries and their famous landmarks, beginning with the Monastery of Sergiev Pasad in Russie, the spiritual home of the Russian Orthodox Church. Build wonders to unlock ancient compasses that reveal more wonders to build, until you face a final journey in hopes of reaching the Treasures of Seven.
7 Wonders: Treasures of Seven remains faithful to the match three series with its spectacular and detailed graphics along with the cute characters who collect your broken runes -- which turn into blocks -- to use in constructing the buildings. When the blocks stop falling or slow down, the workers go on strike and eventually leave the site."
Steam has discounted the entire MumboJumbo catalog as part of their standard weekend deal. Now through Sunday, any of 15 of the publisher's titles can be picked up for 50% to 90% off.
7 Wonders: Treasures of Seven isn't a bad game, but it could be better. IGN would have appreciated bonuses that rewarded you for chaining multiple match-three combos. In addition, 7 Wonders doesn't offer anything all that new or innovative for the genre. What it does add throws a convoluted bolt into the mix which takes some of the simplistic fun out of the pot. In addition, the game is way overpriced at $20. It also doesn't help that there are better match three games out there.
