About the game
What you do in a play session
If you ever felt like your empire in It's a Wonderful World could be even more epic (or perhaps a bit more chaotic), get ready! The Leisure & Decadence expansion is here to level up your experience with a campaign-style approach that will keep you hooked from start to finish. But don't worry, this isn't a 'legacy' game where you destroy components or write on the board; the fun here is sustainable. The concept is all about opening scenario envelopes and secret boxes that reveal surprises and fresh content to supercharge your sessions.
The real magic lies in the progression. Each new scenario introduces challenges that test your ability to optimize resource production like never before. And the best part? Even after you've conquered the campaign, you don't have to pack it all away. All the new content—extra cards, secret components, and heritage boosters—can be integrated into the base game to breathe new life into your casual playthroughs. It's like injecting a dose of adrenaline and fresh strategic possibilities into the engine you already love.
Featuring 166 new cards and components designed to shift the game's rhythm, this expansion is the perfect upgrade for players seeking depth without sacrificing the signature agility of the system. You'll face situations requiring much sharper planning, all while enjoying that classic satisfaction of watching your production engine run like a well-oiled machine. If you're looking for an experience that goes beyond a single standalone game and want to feel your world truly evolving, Leisure & Decadence is your mandatory next step.
