Description provided by WackyTabaxiTavern on YouTube:
Kelly and AJ go head to head in It's a Wonderful World by Lucky Duck Games. This game plays up to five players and will have you drafting development cards, choosing to recycle them for resources or constructing them, and finally gaining resources for your empire and fully constructed development cards. You repeat that process over the course of 4 rounds, you count up your points, and whoever has the most points wins! The game seems simple enough on the surface but will have you making tough decisions and strategizing your next moves through each phase of the game. I think I found my next favorite light engine-building game.

About It's a Wonderful World, from BoardGameGeek:
In It's a Wonderful World, you are an expanding Empire and must choose your path to your future. You must develop faster and better than your competitors. You'll carefully plan your expansion to develop your production power and rule over this new world.
It's a Wonderful World is a cards drafting and engine building game from 1 to 5 players. Each round, players will draft 7 cards and then choose which ones will be recycled to immediately acquire Resources, and which ones will be kept for construction to produce Resources each round and/or gain victory points.
When a card is fully built, it's added to the player's Empire to increase the player's production capacity for each round. The mechanical twist being that the production phase works in a specific order. You'll have to plan your constructions carefully!
