Product Description
Product Description
In 7 Wonders, players get hands of cards, pick those that will help them build their City and pass the rest to their neighbour. Their goal: build commercial ties, strengthen their military might and build their Wonders. Leaders introduces in the game notable personalities, who offer various advantages. At the beginning of the game, players create a Leader hand from which they will be able to play a leader at the beginning of every Age, or use him to get money or help build your Wonder. The recruited Leaders will allow you to build certain structures at a cheaper cost, even maybe for free, or will be worth victory points, or... Well, with Leaders, the Wonders never cease!
Product Description
7 Wonders: Leaders will add 40 new cards to the base game of 7 Wonders comprising four new guilds and 36 new white Leader cards. At the start of the game each player takes a hand of four leaders and may play one at the start of each of the three Ages. Unlike the standard cards leaders cost money (not resources). The expansion will also come with a new Wonder - the ancient city of Rome - and reportedly contain some 6-gold tokens for more efficient money-management.

This is an expansion for "7 Wonders" the board game. It a new set of cards and a new wonder.
A quick guide; you pick 3 leaders before any age cards are handed out and you have to pick a leader card to play (price to pay), discard (3gold coils)or build part of your wonder with it, before each age hand and continue playing the game as normal.
The leaders help with extra scoring points at the end of the game or help thoughtout the game play. but they do cost to play.
this also extends the playing time by 10 minutes but adds more thought and fun the game play.

Adds a much needed random element to a great strategy game

I was taken with the 7 Wonders game from the first time I played it. I really enjoyed the progression of the game and the fact that all players play simultaneously makes the pace wonderfully fast without sacrificing any depth. However, after playing a couple of dozen times the base game can become a little stale because the available options are more or less the same from game to game, with the exception of randomly selected Guilds in the third age.
The Leaders expansion addresses this problem head-on. In addition to increasing the number of available guilds, at the start of the game the players are dealt 4 cards each from a deck of historical leaders such as Julius Caesar, Leonidas, and Plato - each with their own unique benefits. Players draft these cards and keep their set of 4 leaders hidden. At the start of each age, a player can either play play a Leader for its coin cost at the beginning of each age, discard one of them for 3 coins, or play a stage of their wonder. The number of starting coins has been increased to account for the new costs. A good set of Leaders can be the foundation for an optimal strategy that can result in some magnificent scores, but playing those leaders can advertise your intention and result in the other players harrying your efforts before they come to fruition. It's more important than ever to watch your opponents.
7 Wonders hits the table very frequently in my game group. With the addition of the Leaders expansion, I expect that to continue for a good long time.

New dimension for 7 Wonders

This expansion adds a whole new dimension to the 7 Wonders game. Adding 'Leader' cards that have different functions (buy science cards for one less resource, 'deflect' negative battle points back to neighbors, bonus points for sets of certain cards, etc.) can cause you to completely reevaluate your strategy. It does add a little complexity to the game, but that's fun of 7 Wonders, trying to figure out which of many options on each turn will be the best!

Excellent addition to 7 Wonders

Definitely improves the replayability of 7 Wonders by making you choose strategies you would normally avoid. Good addition that adds very little time to the game.
