Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers before you buy

6 questions
Does this expansion work on its own or do I need the base game 7 Wonders?
You definitely need the base game 7 Wonders for it to work. 'Sailors' is an expansion that adds content and rules to it.
How does this interaction with non-neighboring players work?
The new cards bring abilities that allow you to initiate military conflicts or trade routes with any other player at the table, not just those next to you.
Is it difficult to produce this 'Print & Play' expansion?
It's usually quite straightforward! You just need to print the cards and, if you wish, cut them out and put them in sleeves with common base game cards for extra durability.
What is the playtime with this expansion?
The playtime remains similar to the base 7 Wonders, around 45 minutes, as adding one card per Age does not drastically increase the duration.
Does the game's complexity increase significantly with 'Sailors'?
The complexity increases slightly, but gradually. The new mechanics are intuitive and integrate well into the base game's flow, especially for those already familiar with it.
Who is this expansion best suited for?
It's ideal for experienced 7 Wonders players looking for more variety, direct interaction, and a touch of aggression in their games.
