Repos Production are expanding your experience of the ace card game, 7 Wonders with a new expansion coming later this year. Whilst the 2nd edition of the game didn't carry over the Babel expansion, it seems like the replacement for that is Edifice!

7 Wonders Edifice - Repos Production

7 Wonders: Edifice // Repos Production

In 7 Wonders: Edifice, you and the other players at the table will get to work on constructing communal buildings in the centre of the table. You'll want to put a little bit of effort into bringing these structures to life because if those buildings come up in the scoring and you've not helped, you'll suffer a penalty!

The Edifice cards are spread out across the different ages that you play through in 7 Wonders. Each of those cards (seen above) will have a set of rewards and penalties that will come with aiding in the creation of the building. On your turn, rather than building a level of your own personal wonder, you can pay the cost to build part of the Edifice card instead. The key thing here is that once a building has been started, you'll want to get involved and avoid having to take the dreaded debt tokens.

Babel didn't go down particularly well with my group as it seemed like another game on top of the game we were already playing. This seems like it might be a little easier to work into your games of 7 Wonders (not just because it won't take up as much space!) and seems sleeker mechanically too.

As well as the Edifice cards and components, you'll also get two new wonders to use. Ur can only be used with this expansion and then Carthage can be used in your regular games of 7 Wonders.

Whilst this follows the aesthetic of the newer edition of 7 Wonders, it has been noted that this can be used with older editions of the game as well. So, if you still have your classic version of the game then this will fit in nicely.

Could you be tempted to dive in and pick up Edifice for 7 Wonders?
