Overview

In It's a Wonderful World, players are leaders of expanding empires, vying for dominance in a futuristic world. Each round, players draft cards representing development projects, governments, military structures, and more. The key is to build an efficient engine, generating resources and scoring victory points by completing construction phases before your opponents.

What makes the game engaging is the simultaneous action selection phase where players decide which cards to prioritize for production versus construction. Players must carefully balance their resource generation with the pace of their expansion, as the player who builds the most prosperous empire by the end of the game wins. Variable player powers further enhance strategic depth and replayability.
