It's a Wonderful World - Drafting, Strategy and Empire Game

The future of the world is in your hands... will you optimize it?

In It’s a Wonderful World, you lead one of five rapidly expanding Empires. Each turn, you will draft cards (choose one and pass the rest to your neighbor) representing structures, monuments, or discoveries. The genius of the game lies in a difficult choice: will you recycle a card for an immediate resource, or build it to produce resources each turn?

The goal of the game? To create the most efficient production engine to accumulate as many victory points as possible in just 4 rounds.

A revolutionary "Sequential Production" mechanic:

• The Resource Cascade: Resources are produced in a precise order (Materials, Energy, Science, Gold, Exploration). If you finish building a structure with Energy, it can produce Gold immediately during the same phase! This planning is the heart of the game.

• Dynamic Drafting: You don't just endure your hand, you build it. Observe what your opponents are taking to block them or anticipate the resources you will need.

• Zero Downtime: Everyone plays at the same time. Whether you're 2 or 5 players, the game always lasts about 45 minutes. It's a model of fluidity.

• "Colorful Dystopia" Design: The illustrations by Anthony Wolff are magnificent and give a strong visual identity to each Empire.

Why is It’s a Wonderful World an "Essential"?

• Highly Addictive: You finish one game and immediately want to play another to test a different synergy (100% Science strategy? 100% Military?).

• High-Quality Solo Mode: The game offers very stimulating solo scenarios that transform drafting into a pure management puzzle.

• Narrative Expansions: The War or Peace and Leisure and Decadence campaigns add a story mode with envelopes to open and evolving material.

• Rule Accessibility: Despite its depth, the game can be learned in 10 minutes. It's the ideal gateway between family games and expert games.
