    I have beeb abxiously awaiting 7 Wonders III since 7 Wonders II is my favorite match 3 game of all time! I downloaded the game INSTANTLY after receiving notification it had become available. Sorry to say, I am disappointed. I was hoping for more complicated and new layouts with maybe a new twist or two. There is a new twist, but I don't think it's that much fun. Worse, the game reverts to the really puny little disks to match instead of the much better, larger tiles used in the second version. Also, the rhythmic theme music in Wonder II which kept me playing for hours is gone in III. Return to poor tiles, elimination of good music, harder to see playing field = I'm sticking to 7 Wonders II. Maybe if they come out with 4, they'll return to the MUCH BETTER TILE DESIGNS in 2 and dump those nasty little, hard to distinguish, old style tiles. Send a Kudo Post a reply Quote & Reply

    I tried the one-hour demo and loved it.  I liked the new mechanics of turning the game board, and manuvering the keystone into the lock.  I used a full-screen display and had no problems with the discs.  Great graphics, too.  I found it to be the best of the series, from what I played.

    I have all 3 games and I liked the board rotation but the the layouts seem too easy and I have not even got close to running out of time.  II is my favorite.

    Totally agree that layouts are too easy.  As I said above, I was really hoping for bigger, harder boards, but using THE SAME TILES as II.  Those little tiles from I and III are really a drag.  I sent MumboJumbo a request to PLEASE RESTORE THE BIGGER TILES if they make a 4th version!

    I've played to level 3 and I like it.  It took some getting use to with the rotating board.  I thought it was a nice change to the first two.  I also have the first two and really liked the second one.  I will wait to give full opinion until after I finish it.  I have a wide screen monitor and the tiles look really big to me.  I didn't have a problem with the tiles in the other two on my old monitor tho.

    Not to belabor the point, but I guess I am not being clear about the tiles thing.  It is not the SIZE per se (I also have wide screen - plenty big), but the DESIGNS.  Wonders II tiles are much BOLDER, and the colors are much more brillian.  The tiles in I and III just look paler, fainter and scratchier to my eye.  (sorry to be a bore about this!)
