I got my copy of 7 Wonders today and was happy to see it doesn't seem to have the problem some copies in the second printing have had of some Age III cards having a different colored back.

I was reading through the rules for 7 Wonders tonight and one thing that I think may help with kids is that everyone plays there turn at once so there's no time spend waiting for your turn to come up, it could be good for kids who might get bored waiting for something to do.

Also, I have he Manneken Pis wonder which could expand the game to 8 players with a slight tweak to the rules, though it's not designed to be played that way. To play with 8 you can deal everyone 6 cards instead of 7 and skip the part of the round where you discard your last card. Another benefit of the Mannekin Pis is that if you use it and lose the winner is required to get you a beer.
