About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey everyone! Ready to spice up your 7 Wonders game? Introducing the Wil Promo Card, a special promotional card that adds an extra kick to your matches, especially if you enjoy having a celebrity guest in your civilization. This gem was released for International TableTop Day in 2014 and features the beloved Wil Wheaton! The mechanic is straightforward but packed with strategy: on your turn, each opponent must discard a Leader card face down. Then comes your masterstroke: you take all those discarded cards, choose one to play for free, and the rest go to the discard pile. To compensate, each opponent draws a new Leader card. It's a cool way to snatch a valuable Leader or force your opponents to get rid of something they wanted to keep. This card is perfect for those who have already mastered the basic rules of 7 Wonders and want to add an element of direct interaction and unpredictdictability. It doesn't drastically change the game, but it certainly impacts the strategies of those playing against you. If you're a collector or simply like having all the promo cards to make your game more complete, this is a must-have piece. Get ready to see your opponents sweat as they decide which Leader to discard!
