What Makes 7 Wonders Duel Stand Out
With 7 Wonders Duel:
- Play against the AI
- Pass'N Play
- Face your friends on the Internet
- Monitor your statistics
- Compete against players from all over the world in ranked games
Take the lead of a civilization, make it prosper and surpass your opponents!
The 7 Wonders Duel application is an adaptation of the famous 7 Wonders Duel board game.
In 7 Wonders Duel, each player takes turns choosing one card from those available in the game structure. These cards represent a building that the player uses in his city to develop it. There are different types of buildings: resource producers, commercials, military, scientists and civilian buildings.
The game is played in 3 ages, symbolizing the players' progress over time. When the last card of the last age is played, the player with the most victory points wins the game, unless a player achieves scientific or military supremacy during the game. In this case, the player wins immediately.

Community Insight:
Our wife and we have been playing 7 wonders duel on mobile for close to 5 years now and with it being back up on the App Store we wanted to show it some love. The sheer number of games weve played waiting for dinner and drinks at a restaurant is staggering. If youre both quick (we are) a game can be finished in 10-15 minutes. We honestly have been holding off on upgrading our phone because we didnt want to lose access to this game. But now that we see its back up Im upgrading asap to ensure that we can redownload it before it gets taken down again hahaha Anyway good on the developers we think yall have made a great product.
App is decent and game is amazing, but definitely need the expansions.
This app is designed very well, everything is so smooth and well laid out. It plays fast too. The tutorial is good, we are new to the game and it was sufficient to learn the basics. We still havent won yet, but it plays fast so we always want to try again. Its different each time too. Its also good on battery. Thank you for offering this for a fair price with no ads or IAP. Developers like this are rare, and its appreciated. Ill be playing this a lot.
Looking for other players? Please add us! Name: LIBNON we can never find people to play with it just never finds an opponent on our network or quick match. ITS A GREAT GAME BUT we NEED TO FIND FRIENDS TO PLAY MATCHES WITH.
Very fun game, interface on the app works well. Wish there were more people playing the game, most of the time we wait for a quick match to no avail. Playing against the CPU is also fun though.
When we try to do an online match, we can never find anybody to play with. We wonder if this is just because theres a small user base or if its a bug.
This app isn't bad, but it's not great. Our biggest issue with it is the lack of tooltips. Otherwise it's not bad.
The AI/computer player is on Hard always. Get ready to lose 3 of every 4 games you play because the AI always gets the card they need. We know how to play this game and can win it playing against most people. But this AI is ridiculous. There should be easy/medium/hard settings for the AI/computer player. The game is still fun. The UI is quite small. Perhaps the designer could have thought through or play-tested it better before its launch. Perhaps it would be better potentially forcing the game into landscape view instead of portrait view on an iPhone. There should also be an option to slow down the AI animation of the card being played. It happens too quickly for the average person to clearly understand what move the AI performed. A few tweaks could make this game stellar from a players view. In its current state, it is a hard 3 out of 5.
We enjoy the app, but it's impossible to get matched with another person for online play. So we basically just play against the AI over and over. The last time we tried to play a "Quick Match", we quit after 10 minutes of waiting.
Our fiance and we love the game, however, the app would be much better if we could take our turn and come back later to make the next turn as we are busy during the day. Please add this.
Couple notes Ive noticed There isnt any penalty for going into the negative with coins Science bonus tokens dont count for overall points ( we had the agriculture token which gives a bonus 3 points for every science token we have which should have given us a 15 point bonus) THIS WAS NOT PART OF MY FINAL SCORE Im sure there is more but thats what Ive caught.
The AI is impossible to beat. There is no way to change the difficulty level. No undo button either. We loved the card game. We hate the app.
As of now, the developers have BROKEN the game that had been working SO WELL. We cannot connect our account at all – an account that has played over 500 1-1 matches and was at 1425+ ELO score. Cannot get a 1-1 match, cannot see friends list – PLEASE fix this.
We almost didnt buy this cause of the review that said server wasnt supported and no live games. We have not found that to be the case. Ive played a few games everyday. Sometimes we get no match or it takes a few minutes, but we think thats likely related to how many people are online. Anyway, just wanted to put our experience so no one is dissuaded as we almost was and there are more people online.
The game interface is intuitive, and Ive been playing this game a lot and seeing our strategy improving over time. We would love to see the pantheon expansion added, and would happily pay a little extra in order to play.
Awesome game in all respects. Please release the expansion.
The app captures the game very well and is mostly functional. Online play can get glitchy and we wish the AI were a little smarter, as a decent player can beat it nearly 100% of the time.
Love the board game! We really hope the expansions come out for the app. The main reason this doesnt get 5 stars is because there arent difficulty options for the AI. Cant wait for the future updates.
The digital game suffers from the same flaw of the physical version without the expansions: who gets what card is a foregone conclusion without more options to mitigate it. Happy to pay for the expansions, but don't want to play more until they come.
If you love dropped games and matchmaking that never completes, youll love this app.
We love this game but it seems like the server is always down. Every other day we cant access our friends list or see any of our achievements. Its really frustrating.
Dont fall for the dev review reply saying its coming and assume it did we read a review that said 2 years ago we have the async option coming in our roadmap for 1.2 V1.1 which is coming in mid-December. We dont understand what that numbering is, but 1.1.4 was released so we just assumed that meant it was included since 2 years ago they said it was coming. It wasnt. And after 2 years, we think its safe to assume its never coming. If you even briefly switch out of the app you then forfeit and your spouse wins super frustrating, but we guess Im just out $5. With the iTunes family plan at least we didnt both have to buy it.
So we are a huge fan of the board game and the app adaptation. One thing that is misleading is the online play. While you can do a quick match with a stranger we havent figured out how to face our friend unless we are on the same wifi networkso very misleading and we hope Im wrong. Also whats missing. The expansions! We havent played those but it would be cool to have the option. Perhaps also an AI difficulty sliderat times it would be nice to up the challenge to simulate an experienced opponent. The three stars is JUST because the online friend play isnt exactly that.
We own the physical board game. We have probably played it 100 times with multiple other people and have quite a bit of experience with the game. And yet after downloading the game and playing the AI we lost our first 7 games and won the 8th game by only 2 points. It makes us regret buying the game when the AI is clearly unbalanced. We dont mind there being an option for varying levels of AI, but if you are Hopi got play against the AI, be prepared for the computer to have a knack for getting just the right card to flip up.
App freezes often after taking wonders but before Age 1 cards get dealt. No way to restart game from where you left off to get it to refresh. Just have to restart the game. If you can get it to deal out, game play is smooth and the AI is good and not unbeatable, would have liked multiple levels of difficulty AI.
We find it frustrating that the 1v1 online feature where you play with a fellow Duelist is now dead thanks to the server being completely offline – we cannot get a match in MONTHS. The offline play against the computer is boring and easy to beat once you play a dozen or so matches – the most interesting games are with other players of similar or higher ELO ratings. Please bring back the 1v1 play.
Loved this game until the past few months. Game has recently become buggy and unplayable. LONG load/connection times when playing with a friend, and frequently permanently freezes during play. Please fix.
We love this game and it is so much fun to play. However, the online experience could be greatly improved. First off, the connectivity/server is poor, which has resulted in us not being able to log on at times or getting dropped from games that count as losses to our record/ELO. Next, there is a bug where we dont get credit for beating a guest player. The app team told us theyd look into it and we havent gotten a response in weeks. Third, there is no ladder/rankings to see how you are compared to other players and their is no chat function, so even when playing with friends you cant communicate. Great game, but hope for improvement in the online experience.
Update: revised our review from 4 stars to 2 stars The latest update has made this game a buggy mess. Now the game makes moves for us randomly in some games, the countdown clock was only 5 seconds for us in one game, the beginning tiles sometimes load slowly or dont load at all. We wasnt able to select our first card and had to skip our turn a few times. These random bugs ruin this app and unfortunately it doesnt look like they update it too regularly. Previous: This game has got us hooked, its a great two-player head to head game which seems like two-player solitaire at first but ends up with a bit more strategy than you think. We really really wish there was a way to deal with AFK players. As of now, the only thing to do is wait for the clock to run out but it is the most forgiving clock in game history, and each time you take your turn you have to wait a minute for the AFK players turn clock to slowly dwindle. This needs to be fixed. Also, there needs to be asynchronous match making, as much as we like this game we cant wait 5 minutes for a match and then play for 10-15 min straight. Im only on our phone if we have a min or two to burn.
Love this game IRL and was excited to buy the app. Fun to play, but the server seems to always to time out. Ive only been able to get logged in twice since we bought the app over a week ago.
Server always down, advertised as multiplayer. But that is not the case.
The app automatically declares one of the players a winner any time the other player experiences a slow network connection.
On brand new iPhone 13 pro and the animations cause so much lag that we frequently have to wait 15-30 seconds per FRAME. Ive never seen lag like this on an app before.
The app crashes when we play the ai. It seems to crash during the 3rd age which is super annoying since it does not save your progress meaning your game is just gone.
Love the 2P mode for in person play! Faster set-up and convenient compared to real game.
This app is a perfect re-creation of the board game. Ive been enjoying the real game with our friend for a few months now and went looking on the App Store to see if there were any cool apps that went along with it and found this. Its a great way to play the game when you have no one around to play with or to play with our friend. We really hope they add the expansions here soon because they add so much the the game.
We loved playing this game with our girlfriend during quarantine. The games dont take very long but the setup took forever, and this app eliminates that. Nice they have side to side mode and face to face mode. Also the AI is competent to play against. But multiplayer is whats really good – its been very quick to find a match and connection is very good. We play this whenever we have 15 minutes to kill.
Our only complaint is that we play it too much and now playing the tabletop version IRL just seems tedious, haha. We think the graphics look awesome, gameplay is smooth and enjoyable. One of our favorite apps.
The game is a staple in our house, the app Version is fun and easier since it does all the adding and subtracting for you.
Had a couple questions and got the devs to help on discord, very responsive! Love the app keep up the good work.
There is no reason this app should be as good as it is. Worth 5x what you pay.
We love the game and the app is great to play. We just wish there was some kind of rulebook section so you can go see all of the exact reason you can or can do something without going through the tutorial again.
We love this game! But please fix the bug where the mathematics progress token only gives you 3 points, rather than 3 points per progress token.
Its so disappointing to load a game of Duel for a quickmatch and have it stall after connecting. The match never begins. It works 20%of the time but thats pretty sad.
The interface is responsive and the sound effects and graphics work just fine. Much faster to play on here than setting up the cards in real life. However, Duel is mostly luck-based once you and your opponent are at a high enough level. They put out an expansion in real life to fix this, Pantheon (2016). But they dont have it in the app (2019). Thats a big problem.
This is a great digital adaptation of the board game that we love, which we would like to give 5 stars to, BUT… There is a glitch in the scoring calculation when playing pass and play or face to face and using the Economy Progress token. The first time that we noticed this, we had the Progress token and our son was getting paid instead of us when he would have had to pay for cards. He ended the game with more than 50 coins! During another game, we once again had the Economy token and our daughter was getting random large amounts of coins for selling cards. Please fix this! This game is due for an update.
We wanted to enjoy this with our partner but our very first game suddenly ended after a random unexplained disconnect. We came on here only to discover that this is a common problem. Its a shame, because we were looking forward to playing this. We wish we would have known that 2 player had this blocking error before we purchased this.
We've played on separate phones on the same WiFi and the game is great! But when we've tried to play long distance (which is really what we need it for; we have the paper game for in person), the game keeps crashing towards the end of the first round, saying that someone has left the game — and it immediately declares victory/forfeit, even if both of us are still actively playing. This has happened all three times we tried to play this way, so we don't know if we'll try it remotely again.
The app is awesome when playing vs AI but duel with a friend seems to have issues. We play but never can finish a game because it says someone quit but neither of us did. Please fix! :(.
The big problem is that you have to finish a game or it completely forgets the game state and you have to start over. How is that acceptable? This is made worse by the fact that the app crashes mid-game. We found the graphics hard to read as well and the colors are a bit dingy. But the major problem is the amnesia.
