Question 1

If you could only get this or the original 7 Wonders, and you will mostly only get to play with one other person, which would you buy?

Accepted Answer

7 Wonders does have a 2 player variation, but it is nothing compared to 7 Wonders Duel!! Duel changes a number of elements from the original 7 Wonders, making it more cut throat. Everything is connected - how much resources cost and how much money you can get from discarding is dependent on the cards you and your opponent have already played. There are a number of new functions that allow you to directly block your opponent - from discarding cards they have already played to taking their money. It is super fun - I love 7 Wonders, but I love Duel more - to the extent that I wish they made a Duel variety for more than 2 players. I would definitely point you towards Duel! That being said, there are ways to make the 2-player variation in 7 Wonders more exciting - playing with multiple boards per player is a lot of fun!

Question 2

I heard that this game was already out of print? Why is that??

Accepted Answer

I don't know where you heard that, considering it just came out late November.  It's still available on Amazon and it's still available from Asmodee, the parent company that produces the game.  So whatever source told you it's already out of print is mistaken or possibly high...:D

Question 3

I just received this game and all of the cards and instructions are in Chinese.  Anyone else have this problem?

Accepted Answer

Sounds like you received a fake, bootleg version. Did you buy it from a reputable dealer? Many games are counterfeited in Asia.

Question 4

does the insert fit sleeved cards?

Accepted Answer

They will not fit with sleeves on them. My solution, rather than ditch the insert, was to make cuts into the plastic corners of the card wells. This way I could bend the walls of the card wells a little bit to give me the little bit of room that I needed to have the sleeved cards easily fit. Only takes about 2-3 minutes, keeps the insert, and lets the sleeved cards fit perfectly.  Tried to attach a photo, but Amazon doesn't allow it for answers to questions.
