About the game
If you're a fan of 7 Wonders Duel and miss the historical figures from the original 7 Wonders Leaders expansion, get ready! This fan expansion, "Leaders," brings back all your favorite leaders and adds some extras to spice up your games.

Here's how it works: at the start of the game, there's a leader draft, similar to the Wonder draft. Then, at the beginning of each new Age, there are additional steps for you to recruit these prominent figures. It includes 42 leaders from the original 7 Wonders, plus Da Vinci, who is new here. To top it off, there are two brand-new Wonders for Duel: Rome, which gives you more access to leaders, and Abu Simbel, which allows you to bury leaders for victory points. This expansion is fan-made, with the blessing of Repos Production, and promises to bring a fresh boost to your Duel sessions. It's a great choice for those who already master the base game and want more strategic depth and victory options. The adaptation is very faithful to the original mechanic, maintaining the essence of 7 Wonders Duel, but with an extra touch of planning and interaction through leader selection and recruitment. If you're a fan of the original game's Leaders expansion, this adaptation for Duel will be a treat!
