Debt, Diplomacy, and Deviousness (a review of 7 Wonders: Cities)

It's easy to blend in when you're in the city. In the country everyone knows everybody. It's hard to carry out your subtle machinations among farmers. But in the city? There's so much activity, so much bustle, that you can traverse dark alleyways without notice. There are plenty of places to hide, even in plain sight. There are plenty of people to plan with, plenty of people to backstab. And there are plenty of opportunities for you to make your way to the top.

Enter the dark underworld of 7 Wonders in Cities.
