7 Wonders: Cities is the second expansion for 7 Wonders and includes optional rules for teams, adds an eighth player (the base game supports 7 players), a new type of card (black cards representing the ruins of cities) as well as new cards of old types (two new wonders: Petra and Byzantium, 3 new guild and 6 new leader cards). This expansion is more aggressive with significantly increased interaction between players, who are still trying to score more points than anyone else.

The team rules allow you to play with up to eight players, where players are divided into teams that sit next to each other so they can discuss and choose the most useful cards for them.

The new black cards have different effects, with nine cards available in each age. Effects include:

- The active player gains gold, and his neighbours also get some.

- Increased military strength in age 1 at a higher cost.

- Ambassador cards that remove you from military competition during that age.

- Graveyard cards that give you points at the end of the game while costing opponents gold.

- Spy cards that copy symbols from green (science) cards.

- A secret vault that doubles a resource and a black market that generates a missing resource.

- The ability to build cards for free by copying building chains from other players.
