The Leaders expansion for the 7 Wonders base game adds a strong strategic dimension: in addition to buildings and wonders, you will recruit great historical figures (philosophers, generals, scientists, etc.) who will influence your civilization over three ages. This variant enriches your games with new choices from the start while retaining the familiar mechanics of drafting and wonder construction.
How to play 7 Wonders with the Leaders expansion?
Game Setup
- Make sure you have the 7 Wonders base game, as the expansion is not standalone.
- Shuffle the "Leaders" cards (character cards) and prepare them according to the number of players.
- Each player receives four random Leader cards, then selects their future characters via a drafting mechanism before Age I.
- Each player starts the game with six gold coins (instead of three) to account for the cost of the Leaders.
Gameplay outline
- Before each Age, a recruitment phase allows each player to choose a Leader to activate, paying their cost or using the card to build a wonder stage or gain gold.
- During the Age, the basic rules of the game (draft, building construction, resource trading, military conflicts) apply normally.
- Activated Leaders remain in play and offer various effects: cost reduction, additional gains, end-game bonuses, etc.
- The game ultimately takes place over three Ages and concludes with a count of victory points as in the base game.
Win/Loss Condition
- Point calculation at the end follows the base game model: wonders, buildings, currency, science, military.
- Leader effects add possibilities for extra points or bonuses, which can change the outcome.
- The player with the highest victory point totalwins the game.
Our Tips for Winning
-
Choose your Leaders wisely
Choose Leaders who complement your civilization's strategy — for example, a science-oriented Leader if you are aiming for many green buildings.
-
Manage your gold coins well from the start
With the expansion, you have more options but also additional costs: accumulate gold in moderation and invest it at the right time.
-
Integrate your Leaders into other scoring paths
Don't let Leaders become a distraction. They must be part of a global development strategy (wonders, civic buildings, etc.) to be truly effective.
