It's time to upgrade your 7 Wonders: Armada experience with the Syracuse Promotional Wonder! Originally released at SPIEL Essen 2018, this wonder is a super cool addition that brings an extra strategic touch to your games. Unlike traditional wonders, Syracuse was the first to come without a wonder card, which makes it easier to draw and maintain the randomness we love in the base game.

Syracuse starts with Glass as its resource, and the most interesting part is that it features three wonder stages on both sides of the board, but with a special rule: you can build them in any order! This gives you incredible tactical freedom, allowing you to better adapt to the table and your opponents' strategies. Let's take a look at what each side offers:

On Side A, the first stage allows you to move one of your Ships one space upward on your Dockyard board and also grants you 1 Naval Shield. The second stage also moves a ship and guarantees 3 Victory Points at the end of the game. The third stage, in addition to moving a ship, grants 1 Ground Shield. It's a great option for those who want to focus on fleet movement and defense.

Side B is for those who like to make a more immediate impact. The first stage gives you 6 Coins immediately, and also makes all other players lose 1 Coin per Commercial Level reached by their yellow fleet – a direct hit to others' economy! The second stage allows you to move two different Ships, each one space upward on the Dockyard board. And the third stage grants you 1 Ground Shield and 1 Naval Shield. Syracuse is a versatile wonder that can fit into various strategies, whether to boost your fleet, your economy, or your defense. Get ready to dominate the seas with this legendary city!
