I did not see a manual in the box, and now I don't have a validation code that the game is requiring before I can play. Can I get a manual?

There is no manual. These days, game manufacturers cut as many corners as they can (not like the '90s, gaming's golden era); instead there are various tutorials. Anyway, to your question - the validation code is on a small strip of paper glued to the inside of the box. It's really hard to miss.

No manual really needed, pretty easy learning curve for a game such as this. Only insert was the code for the bonus "Fellowship Pack" in my edition...

They have a beginning tutorial. And they is a button you can click and it tells you more details(you can check it anytime in the game)

It depends where you buy it, and if its new/used. Though mines is a used game, it came with the manual booklet. You should be able to find out by the seller's description. I believe its the standard gold edition

Sarah G. That is the complaint I had with the machine that there wasn't a manual and can't find one online. I learned what I had to using the back of the box if you still have it and hit and miss trying the different buttons. That really sux but I find there is a lot of things I buy any more that don't have instruction manuals.

Well I agree the rules are not easy to follow when you play for the first time. To be sincere I couldn't play the game by just reading the manual. What I did is find a YouTube video where I saw a whole family playing together and describing every move. Then it started to make sense. I took me a couple of hours to learn it. The manual is great when you're already in a game, because you'll always use it as a cheatsheet. Here's the link I'm talking about :S05E01 - 7 Wonders - How To Play: http://youtu.be/z_Wfdn5Es8UI recommend you watch all of these videos, I mean S05E02, etc. 7 wonders is a truly amazing game, the more you play it, the more you'll love it.

Yeah, the US release does not have a manual, shame I know, but the game itself shows you detailed instructions for modes and options anyways.

This version of the game has a Simple physical manual（7 page), a page of TECH TREE AND SPECIFIC CHARTS. It has 15 DLC. It need a account of steam. The game program can download in steam, DVD disk can't need. These help to you? if not, Please ask me in simple English again, my English is poor.

I only used a controller, so I can't really answer if it's required. All I can say is that I used a controller.

Yes, the game requires Steam activation. The worst part about it is after a certain amount of time, you must go into online mode and sign in to "validate" your account. Never understood that.

It's not a code, it comes with 2 disc but I never got to play it. I tried endlessly to install it but I couldn't! ! Very frustrating to say the least. I have Windows 8 on a very nice computer. I tried just about every lead on how to install it but to no prevail. Lucky I have it on Xbox 360, this game is awesome but I wanted to play it on my computer for the conveyance of playing it anywhere. Good luck!!!!

The downloaded version didn't work for me either. I copied the game key from amazon into steam and I downloaded it that way.You can download steam here: http://store.steampowered.com/

You should be able to find a serial key online. If you want to play online you have to buy the steam version (enhanced version).

No, I rented it through GameFly and there was no code. Just pop the disc in and play :)

The code is on the bottom of the box as I recall, not anywhere in the paperwork inside. Just have to handwrite it down, hopefully before throwing the box out.
