7 Wonders: Manneken Pis

About this expansion

7 Wonders: Manneken Pis is a promotional wonder for the 7 Wonders base game, for 2–7 players and games lasting about 30 minutes. It gives players another wonder choice while introducing an unusual approach to wonder development.

Unlike the wonders in the base game, Manneken Pis produces no resource of its own. Instead, its owner receives more money at the start of the game, providing a distinctive financial benefit from the beginning.

The wonder has two different sides, each offering a separate way to use its levels. One side lets its owner copy specific levels from neighboring wonder cards, creating a flexible connection with the wonders in play.

The other side contains a single level with a demanding cost and a substantial reward. It requires one of each resource, then delivers a major payoff in power, points, and money.

• Promotional wonder for the 7 Wonders base game
• No resource production of its own
• More starting money for its owner
• One side can copy levels from neighboring wonders
• Another side offers one large payoff for one of each resource

First available as a promotional item at Spiel 2010, Manneken Pis was later distributed through the BGG Store and Spielbox. Its two-sided design gives the base game more wonder variety without requiring a separate standalone game.

7 Wonders: Manneken Pis was later reimplemented by 7 Wonders: Wonder Pack. It remains a compact addition for players who want more choices of wonders and a wonder with an especially distinctive set of effects.
