About the game
What you do in a play session
If you already enjoy the vibe of building wonders in World Wonders, this Christ the Redeemer promo pack brings an essential Brazilian touch to your table. It's not just a cosmetic item; the pack adds a very interesting dispute dynamic to the game. The highlight is the wooden Christ the Redeemer token, which acts as a transient piece. Unlike other constructions, the Christ doesn't stay with a single owner. It is available to everyone from the start and is worth 3 precious points to whoever holds it at the end of the match.
But don't think it's easy to hold onto this victory! To claim the Christ, a player must have built at least 3 Monuments and meet the specific requirements. The spiciest part of the mechanic is the possibility of 'stealing': if another player has more builds than you and also meets the requirements, they can simply snatch the Christ away. This creates a layer of constant tension, where you must balance expanding your empire with protecting your iconic landmark.
In addition to the Christ piece, the package includes two promotional Christ the Redeemer Monument cards (originally available during the World Wonders: Europa pre-sale) and 5 metal coins, which add weight and a feeling of luxury to the table. It's the kind of content that, while small, changes the interaction between players, turning the possession of the monument into a strategic tug-of-war. If you want to upgrade your experience and add an element of fast-paced competitive dispute, this pack is the right choice to bring Rio de Janeiro to your collection of world wonders.
