7 Wonders: The Great Wall

7 Wonders: Great Wall – first available through the 7 Wonders: Wonder Pack, and now available on its own – is a wonder that can be used with the 7 Wonders base game in order for players to have more choices of wonders available to them. This is an updated version of the Great Wall wonder, designed to match the artwork found in 7 Wonders: 2nd Edition (printed from 2020 onwards), but is backwards compatible with the first edition of the game. Although this version is visually updated to match the second edition, the rulebook from the original Wonder Pack is still the best guide to learn the rules for this promo wonder. Unlike others wonders that need to be constructed from the first level upwards, the owner of the Great Wall can build the stages of this wonder in any order (since the wall is, of course, a long horizontal wonder and not a primarily vertical one) Day side - Stage 1: The player takes 8 coins from the bank and adds them to their treasury Stage 2: At the end of the game, the player gains an extra scientific symbol of their choice Stage 3: The player adds 2 Shields to their total during each conflict resolution Stage 4 : The player can choose, at the end of the current turn, an Age card in the discard pile and put it in play for free. Night side (this side requires the Cities expansion to play) Stage 1: The player takes 8 coins from the bank. Both adjacent players each take 2 coins from the bank. Stage 2: At the end of the game, the mask copies the scientific symbol of a green card present in one of the two neighboring cities. Stage 3: At the end of the current Age, the player does not take part in the conflict resolution. The city to their left thus faces off against the city to their right. Moreover, each player, other than the owner of the Wonder, must pay 2 coins to the bank. Stage 4 : This Stage allows the player to benefit, each turn, from a resource, of the player’s choice, from among those not produced by its city from among their brown, gray and the initial resources of their board. - from the BGG store listing of this promo
