Statue of Zeus in Olympia - Stage 2 - Day side - reward unclear

Post by Eirae »

Hi Guys,

Not sure if it is a translation issue or else but I cannot make sense of the description of the stage reward for the following wonder in the new game format:
Statue of Zeus - Stage 2 - Day side -> "You can build for free the first card of each color"

I managed to go to the historic of a previous version game and it was saying "Once per Age, you may construct a structure for free" which I do understand the meaning.

FYI, the design of the action is different.

Are the stages rewards different in the new version?
Is it a translation issue or an accurate description, and if so, what does that mean ??

Thanks

Better explanation of the rules: "Once this symbol enters play, you can construct the first Building for free, in each color, that you don't already have in your city".

Thank you, keeping that website in mind.

Make more sense now, was missing the part "that you don’t already have in your City ".

wait, so let's say I built this wonder at end of second stage, and I already built any red, yellow, and blue card in the city (as any players should), then this wonder effect is useless(except for purple card)?

wow, then what is the point of this wonder except for securing purple card? pretty sure you will get green/red/yellow/blue card at free (or almost free) anyway in first age

It will mainly give you a free purple, but you can also abstain from building blue for first 2 rounds to get a free blue.
