THE NEW 7 WONDERS OF THE WORLD GAME
A new innovative, fun-filled,
family travel game - The New 7 Wonders of the World – has been
designed by Michael Gifford of Auckland and developed by Metia Interactive. It
is currently available as an app for iPads, and other gaming platforms are
currently being investigated. CDs of the game are available. The New 7 Wonders
of the World Game was released in late November 2012.
We all know about the original 7 wonders of the world. The new 7 wonders were ‘elected ‘ by more than 100 million voters throughout the world and were announced at the Official Declaration Ceremony in Lisbon on 7 July 2007. They are: The Great Wall of China, Machu Picchu, the Statue of Christ the Redeemer, the Taj Mahal, the Colosseum, Petra, Chichen Itza.

Features of the game are:
- Players
choose to be James Cook, Marco Polo, Francis Drake or Christopher Columbus
as they play the game.
- The
goal of the game is to travel round the world and be the first player to
reach all the New 7 Wonders, and gain the most points through
accumulating assets (cash, bonus steps, wallet items and monument sites)
during the game.
- Players
start each quest from one of 6 starting cities – Sydney, London, Tokyo,
New York, Moscow or Cape Town.
- As
they travel round the world, players can learn about the history, culture
and geography of cities and countries they pass through. It is both fun
and educational.
- As
players move around the board they answer questions, make decisions, earn
money, and obtain free flights and other rewards.
- The
game finishes when the first player has reached all 7 monuments, and the
winner is the player who has accumulated the most points during the
game.
- The game can be played by people of all ages, either singly or with up to 4 players at any one time.
