City of Wonder

A few days ago, I talked about the new games addition to Google’s (relatively) new social networking site, Google+. One of the games I talked about was City of Wonder, a game where you create your own civilization and watch it grow while going on expeditions, conquering colonies, and forming alliances.

I got a handful of requests asking me to go into more detail about why people should start playing City of Wonder and become my ally. Your wishes have come true.

You start off in City of Wonder with a tiny civilization with a handful of buildings and a long list of things to do. These things include building homes to attract more people to your civilization and increase your population, constructing markets to start earning silver coins and make a profit, and erecting cultural buildings to make your people happy. You can also start researching new technologies to advance in the ages. You start back in the stone age, and as you research more technologies, you advance into the bronze, classical, enlightened, industrial, atomic, and modern ages.

Once you get a good way into the game, you can start searching for colonies. Your first colony will be an island where you spend sand dollars to build another civilization just like your main village.

City of Wonder is a fun but non-intensive game that anyone can enjoy. It doesn’t require a lot of time to play – all you need is a few minutes at a time spread throughout your day.

If you decide to join, feel free to add me as an ally by searching for Adam Parkzer on Google+ and sending an alliance invitation.
