The other one worked pretty well, barring some small issues, so, while waiting for the expansion that is in the works (and that will force me to buy the base game again), I've decided that I'd host another one.

Three players so far. I was giving it a couple of weekdays, but if no one else is joining it can be played with three...

Settled. I've given it a full week, and no more players have joined, so we play this with three players.

Seating order:

Dethwing -- Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, Side B
Scurra -- Lighthouse of Alexandria, Side A
Sentran -- Pyramids of Giza, Side A

Hands have been sent. Game has officially started.

Do I get the free build upon getting each stage of the wonder, or can I store them up and use them whenever?

Scurra · Daedalian Member

I've always played that you have to do the build when you complete the Wonder stage, which makes the timing challenging but interesting.

No, it just agonized. Seems that life keeps conspiring to make this game crawl as slow as possible, so let me apologize again. This time the three cities built again, and the first purchases were made

Grey buildings: Glassworks
Green buildings: Apothecary, Workshop, Scriptorium

Production: Cloth, Glass
Coins: 1

Scurra appears threatening, as he purchases wood from Sentran, at a reduced price no less, to make a Stockade
Brown buildings: Stone Pit
Grey buildings: Press
Yellow buildings: West Trading Post
Red buildings: Stockade
Shields: 1
Production: Glass, Stone, Papyrus
Coins: 4
Can buy raw materials (Clay, Stone, Ore, Wood) from Sentran for 1 coin instead of 2

Sentran improves Giza with some Baths with some of his stone production
Brown buildings: Ore Vein, Timber Yard
Blue buildings: Baths
Wonder: Stage 1 complete
Production: Stone, Ore, Stone/Wood
Coins: 3

Grey buildings: Glassworks
Blue buildings: Altar

Scurra uses a card and starts building the Lighthouse, buying one stone cheap from Sentran

Red buildings: Stockade
Shields: 1
Production: Glass, Stone, Papyrus
Wonder: Stage 1 complete
