Wonders are special buildings which can each be completed by only one player each game and which often enhance their entire civilization. Here all the wonders are listed, in alphabetical order. Note the asymmetry that, while you must personally achieve the advance required by each wonder to build it, it will be disabled when any player achieves the obsoleting advance.
