7 Wonders: Manneken Pis

7 Wonders: Manneken Pis debuted as a giveaway at Spiel 2010 and later became available through the BGG Store and Spielbox. It acts as an additional wonder that can replace any of the seven original wonders in 7 Wonders, giving players more options. Unlike the base-game wonders, Manneken Pis does not produce resources; instead it grants extra money at the start of the game, providing an economic boost. The card has two sides: one lets its owner copy specific stages of neighboring wonders, adding strategic flexibility, while the other side features a single stage that requires one of each resource to deliver a huge payoff in power, victory points, and cash. The expansion employs closed drafting for card selection, set collection to build winning combos, simultaneous action selection for deciding moves, and variable player powers because each side of the wonder offers a different ability. Playtime stays around 30 minutes, perfect for those who already know 7 Wonders and want more variety without extending the game. The complexity remains low, preserving the base game's flow, but the new wonder can shift the pace, especially if you choose the resource‑heavy stage. It’s a solid pick for veterans who love tinkering with strategies and groups looking to freshen up the experience without buying a whole new game.
