Alhambra = 19
Apadana = 26
Big Ben = 32
Bolshoi Theatre = 8
Colosseum = 28
Cristo Redentor = 19
Eiffel Tower = 20
Forbidden City = 31
Great Pyramids = 27
Great Zimbabwe = 25 (24+1) Nice gold returns when you get trades going to and from the city with this.
Mausoleum at Halicarnassus = 24
Oxford University = 22
Petra = 7
Potala Palace = 18
Ruhr Valley = 22
Terracotta Army = 0 (3-3) - ELIMINATED - I have never built this one. I tend to let the AI go for it while I focus on others.
Venetian Arsenal= 24
 
Alhambra = 19
Apadana = 26
Big Ben = 32 It's getting a tougher call, but I'm sticking to this one for now.
Bolshoi Theatre = 5 (8-3) Of the ones left, this is probably the weakest of the lot. Petra might be very situational, but at least Petra has the potential to be awesome. This ones just not very good compared to the price and time it comes.
Colosseum = 28
Cristo Redentor = 19
Eiffel Tower = 20
Forbidden City = 31
Great Pyramids = 27
Great Zimbabwe = 25
Mausoleum at Halicarnassus = 24
Oxford University = 22
Petra = 7
Potala Palace = 18
Ruhr Valley = 22
Venetian Arsenal= 24
 
Alhambra = 19
Apadana = 26
Big Ben = 32
Bolshoi Theatre = 2 (5 - 3) Trading production for culture is rarely a winning proposition in the current game.
Colosseum = 28
Cristo Redentor = 19
Eiffel Tower = 20
Forbidden City = 31
Great Pyramids = 27
Great Zimbabwe = 25
Mausoleum at Halicarnassus = 24
Oxford University = 22
Petra = 8 (7 + 1) Situational,but with massive upside. This wonder is key to the best cities I've seen in the game.
Potala Palace = 18
Ruhr Valley = 22
Venetian Arsenal= 24
 
Alhambra = 19
Apadana = 26
Big Ben = 32
Bolshoi Theatre = 2-3=eliminated (decent but not particularly good. Culture based wonders are not game changers)
Colosseum = 28
Cristo Redentor = 19
Eiffel Tower = 20
Forbidden City = 31
Great Pyramids = 27
Great Zimbabwe = 25
Mausoleum at Halicarnassus = 24
Oxford University = 22
Petra = 8 + 1 =9 (most maps have stretches of desert tiles and the AIs won't occupy. With a bit of planning it is also not as tough to get like chicken pizza. It makes very powerful cities, and if you play China often you know it's your life safer.)
Potala Palace = 18
Ruhr Valley = 22
Venetian Arsenal= 24

Alhambra = 19
Apadana = 26
Big Ben = 32
Colosseum = 28 + 1 = 29 Great for the whole game.
Cristo Redentor = 19
Eiffel Tower = 20
Forbidden City = 31 - 3 = 28 Never built it.
Great Pyramids = 27
Great Zimbabwe = 25
Mausoleum at Halicarnassus = 24
Oxford University = 22
Petra = 9
Potala Palace = 18
Ruhr Valley = 22
Venetian Arsenal= 24
 
Alhambra = 19
Apadana = 26
Big Ben = 32
Colosseum = 29
Cristo Redentor = 19 -3 = 16 With it's culture and tourism focus, not even particularly useful to capture this from the AI.
Eiffel Tower = 20
Forbidden City = 28 + 1 = 29 With a +1 Wildcard spot it's extremely useful now that capturing world wonders providing free policy spots works correctly and so goes gets todays upvote.
Great Pyramids = 27
Great Zimbabwe = 25
Mausoleum at Halicarnassus = 24
Oxford University = 22
Petra = 9
Potala Palace = 18
Ruhr Valley = 22
Venetian Arsenal= 24
 
Alhambra = 19
Apadana = 26
Big Ben = 32
Colosseum = 29
Cristo Redentor = 16
Eiffel Tower = 20
Forbidden City = 29
Great Pyramids = 27
Great Zimbabwe = 25
Mausoleum at Halicarnassus = 24
Oxford University = 22
Petra = 9
Potala Palace = 15 = 18-3 Diplomatic slot is the weakest Free Policy Slot to earn.
Ruhr Valley = 23 = 22+1 Same reasons as before. Production is king.
Venetian Arsenal= 24
 
Alhambra = 19
Apadana = 26
Big Ben = 33 (32+1) While not as flexible as the wildcard slot of Forbidden City, I'll practically always find myself running at least one economy card in my wildcard slots, so the gold from Big Ben still makes it clearly superior to Forbidden City. Plus placement restrictions is less cumbersome on this one.
Colosseum = 29
Cristo Redentor = 16
Eiffel Tower = 20
Forbidden City = 29
Great Pyramids = 27
Great Zimbabwe = 22 (25-3) While by no means a bad wonder, I don't understand the hype for this wonder. First of, the placement restrictions is a nightmare. Secondly, to reap the benefits, you need to have a city that not only qualifies for location, but also has many bonus resources. And finally, you need to be willing to allocate many of your trade routes to start in this city, which I find extremely inconvenient, as I usually want to spread them out to boost newer cities or my capital. So unless my capital happens to be a great candidate for this wonder, I mostly find it mediocre.
Mausoleum at Halicarnassus = 24
Oxford University = 22
Petra = 9
Potala Palace = 15
Ruhr Valley = 23
Venetian Arsenal= 24
 
Alhambra = 16 (19-3) the weakest of the card wonders. Should go before Potala.
Apadana = 26
Big Ben = 33
Colosseum = 29
Cristo Redentor = 16
Eiffel Tower = 21 (20+1) In most of my games, I go for CVs. This is a real life saver and makes it so much easier.
Forbidden City = 29
Great Pyramids = 27
Great Zimbabwe = 22
Mausoleum at Halicarnassus = 24
Oxford University = 22

Potala Palace = 15
Ruhr Valley = 23

Alhambra = 16
Apadana = 26
Big Ben = 33
Colosseum = 29
Cristo Redentor = 16
Eiffel Tower = 21
Forbidden City = 29
Great Pyramids = 27
Great Zimbabwe = 22 + 1 = 23 (Yields can be awesome with some advance planning - it's a cash cow and very versatile)
Mausoleum at Halicarnassus = 24
Oxford University = 22
Petra = 9 - 3 = 6 (Weakest wonder left - only a single city benefits and the bonus isn't all that great.)
Potala Palace = 15
Ruhr Valley = 23
Venetian Arsenal= 24
 
Alhambra = 16
Apadana = 26
Big Ben = 33
Colosseum = 29
Cristo Redentor = 16-3 = 13 Don't care about tourism
Eiffel Tower = 21
Forbidden City = 29
Great Pyramids = 27
Great Zimbabwe = 23
Mausoleum at Halicarnassus = 24
Oxford University = 22
Petra = 6+1 = 7 Its not that bad; I built in a desert city in my current game
Potala Palace = 15
Ruhr Valley = 23
Venetian Arsenal= 24
 
Alhambra = 16
Apadana = 26
Big Ben = 33
Colosseum = 29
Cristo Redentor = 13
Eiffel Tower = 21
Forbidden City = 29
Great Pyramids = 27
Great Zimbabwe = 20 (23-3) - yeah, I get it, it's great. Also almost never build it because of it's requirements so it's not that useful.
Mausoleum at Halicarnassus = 24
Oxford University = 22
Petra = 7
Potala Palace = 16 (15+1) - I think all extra slots are good. I usually need a few in play - one for envoys, one for spies and if I can get another one for gold even better. This frees my wildcard slots.
Ruhr Valley = 23
Venetian Arsenal= 24

Alhambra = 16-3=13 - Alhambra is good thanks to amenities, but it's weakest from the remaining.
Apadana = 26+1=27 - Apadana is good thanks to the envoys, and I'm always enthusiastic wonder builder, so I can get a lot of envoys with Apadana.

Alhambra = 13
Apadana = 27
Big Ben = 33
Colosseum = 29
Cristo Redentor = 13
Eiffel Tower = 21
Forbidden City = 29
Great Pyramids = 27
Great Zimbabwe = 20-3 = 17 - I'll 3rd the 'too situational to build in most games'
Mausoleum at Halicarnassus = 24
Oxford University = 22
Petra = 7
Potala Palace = 16
Ruhr Valley = 23
Venetian Arsenal= 24+1 = 25 - Easy to plan for, and saves a ton of production.

Alhambra 7
Apadana = 24 (27 - 3) Given the high production costs and specific terrain requirements for Civ VI wonders, its rare to build more than a few in the same city.
Big Ben = 33
Colosseum = 29
Cristo Redentor = 13
Eiffel Tower = 21
Forbidden City = 29
Great Pyramids = 27
Great Zimbabwe = 19 (18 + 1) It isn't actually all that situational. All you need is a city with lots of bonus resources, including cows (the wonder is more than worth giving up a bit of adjacency bonus on your commercial hub). And the gold yields are insane.
Mausoleum at Halicarnassus 25
Oxford University = 19
Petra=8
Potala Palace = 16
Ruhr Valley = 23
Venetian Arsenal = 25
