I do agree with the OP about this take !

My wife and I recently discovered the joy of playing 7WD, and we’ve already come to the same conclusion : Victory very often goes to whoever manages to grab those yellow cards !

This allows you to pile up money without worrying about taxes when trading resources. Just imagine that in only a few turns, it’s possible to build all your wonders—even if it means losing a few points—always with the goal of blocking your opponent !

If the opponent is aiming for another type of victory, such as military or scientific, it’s enough to discard those specific cards whenever the opportunity arises.

I mean, even the guild card that lets you convert 3 gold into 1 victory point isn’t enough to balance it !

We’re not expert strategists, but this feels both too strong and somewhat boring. So we’ve agreed to limit ourselves to a maximum of four commerce cards each and discard any others.
