B
Face [B]
The B sides of the Wonders are slightly more complex. Nevertheless, both sides remain balanced and can be used in the same game.
The Pyramids of Giza
the Pyramids are built in 4 stages, each worth victory points (3,5,5,7) for
a total of 20 points.
The Colossus of Rhodes
The Colossus is built in 2 stages :
• the rst stage is worth 1 Shield, 3 coins and 3 victory points.
• the second stage is worth 1 Shield, 4 coins and 4 victory points.
The Lighthouse of Alexandria
• the rst stage allows the player to gain one resource of their choice
from among the 4 raw materials [Stone, Clay, Wood, Ore] each turn.
• the second stage allows the player to gain one manufactured good
of their choice chosen from among the 3 types [Glass, Textile, Papy-
rus] each turn.
• the third stage is worth 7 victory points.
Clarication : these resources cannot be bought by neighboring cities.
The Temple of Artemis in Ephesus
• the rst stage is worth 4 coins and 2 victory points.
• the second stage is worth 4 coins and 3 victory points.
• the third stage is worth 4 coins and 5 victory points.
Clarication : the coins are taken from the bank only once, immediately
after the stage has been built.
The Hanging Gardens of Babylon
• the rst stage is worth 3 victory points.
• the second stage gives the player the option of playing their seventh
Age card instead of discarding it. This card can be played by paying
its costs, discarded to earn 3 coins or used in the building of the third
phase of the Wonder.
• the third stage grants the player a scientic symbol of their choice.
Clarication :
- during the sixth turn, the player can therefore play both cards they have
in hand. If the second stage of the Wonder is not built, the Babylon player
can then build it on their sixth turn and then play the seventh card ins-
tead of discarding it.
- the choice of the symbol is made at the end of the game and not on the
turn in which the stage of the Wonder is built.
The Statue of Zeus in Olympia
• the rst stage allows the player to purchase raw materials [Stone,
Clay, Wood, Ore] from his or her two neighboring cities for the price
of one coin instead of two.
• the second stage is worth 5 victory points.
• the third stage allows the player to “copy” a Guild (purple card) of
their choice built by one of their two neighboring cities.
Clarications :
- the rst stage is equivalent to the two Trading Posts, Eastern or Western
(yellow cards) : their effect is not cumulative, but the construction of either
the Eastern or Western Trading Posts remains possible...
- for the third stage, the choice of the Guild is made at the end of the game,
when counting points. The player totals the victory points as if they had
built that Guild.
- Copying a Guild has no effect on the city of the copied Guild’s owner.
The Mausoleum of Halicarnassus
• the rst stage is worth 2 victory points and the player can look at
all of the cards discarded since the beginning of the game and build
one for free.
• the second stage is worth 1 victory point and the player can look at
all of the cards discarded since the beginning of the game and build
one for free.
• when they build the third stage, the player can look at all of the cards
discarded since the beginning of the game and build one for free.
Clarication : this special action is taken at the end of the turn in which the
stage is built. If players discard cards on that turn (for example, during the
6th turn of an age), the player can also choose from among those cards.
