The second new strategy based board game we tried out this summer as a family was 7 Wonders. Let me start by saying this is a fun game with a ton of strategy needed to ensure victory. We've played a couple of times and I'm still trying to figure out the best plan of attack. The goal is simple. Earn the most victory points as you build your civilization. Doing so, however, is not so easy.

You earn victory points by winning battles, building wonders, earning money, and building various structures in your city. The route you take in building all depends on the cards you receive each round. We've played 3 and 4 player games and we quickly learned that a 4 player game was more difficult as we found ourselves discarding cards in exchange for money as we had no cards we could actually play!
If you're looking for a good strategy based board game to play with your kids, 7 Wonders is a good one! Haven't looked into it too much yet, but it appears there are several expansion packs you can purchase to go along with the original 7 Wonders! What fun!
