About the game

What you do in a play session

Embark on an epic maritime adventure in Century: Eastern Wonders! Centuries ago, the spice trade was the gold of its time, and nations would go to great lengths to find new routes. You are a fearless merchant and privateer, sailing the exotic seas of the Far East in search of riches and glory for your nation. The modular board, composed of islands and sea routes, changes with each game, ensuring every journey is unique. Your mission? Fulfill lucrative contracts by collecting and delivering valuable spices between islands. Manage your resources wisely, plan your grid and point-to-point movements carefully, and keep an eye out for opportunities to collect the right sets to maximize your profits. Competition is fierce, and the path to success is paved with strategy and a bit of daring. For those who enjoy trading games with a touch of exploration and a board that reinvents itself, Eastern Wonders offers an engaging experience full of tactical decisions. And for fans of the series, the possibility of combining this game with Century: Spice Road to create the "Sand to Sea" experience is an incredible bonus!
