7 Wonders Leaders: An Exceptional People Expansion

7 Wonders is a monument to board games in the same way Roman roads were to the world. It created a solid foundation, allowing millions of players to move away from simple games to heavy strategy games. But it was missing one thing: a face and a personality! And that is exactly what the Leaders expansion is bringing to the table.
 
So, what’s new? Along with 2 brand-new Wonders, it introduces Leader cards. Queens, astronomers, philosophers, and generals add an extra dimension of strategy to your games. And that’s the whole point: it gives you a clear direction from the very first turn. If you get Aristotle, you’ll go for science. If you pick Cleopatra, you know what to do.
 
Leaders does not overcomplicate the gameplay, but it does push you down new roads, Romans on not, that you may not have explored before. Choose your leaders wisely and they will bring you to greatness. Neglect them, and they will end up leading a rival city to victory!
 
All that’s left to do is select the expansion in your custom options. Let’s get ready to inspire your people and lead your civilization to a Golden Age!

A massive thanks to Antoine Bauza, the game designer, and the good folks of Repos Production for allowing us to add this expansion to the platform. We also want to give a huge shout-out to joezg for the BGA port.
 
This was your Friday release.
Building a monument over the weekend should now be no trouble at all, so take care and play fair…

Thanks, it's made the game more fun! Are there any plans to add "Armada" or "Cities" anytime soon?

My favourite 7 Wonders expansion.

When I choose this expansion, it says that it is still in Beta mode.

Aristotle (+3 vp per science set) only gave me 6 points in final scoring. These were my science symbols:
3 green tablets
3 green compass
2 green gears
1 Scientists Guild
1 Pythagoras Leader (extra gear)

I've looked at the game in question and I do believe you are right... the Leaders point tally is given as 21 points. Pythagoras accounts for 12 of them (completing a third set gives seven points, and boosting from two gears to three gears gives 9-4=5 more points), and Hypatia accounts for 3 of them (1 VP for each of the three green buildings), which leaves Aristotle at 6. (My guess would be that Aristotle was calculated before Pythagoras, but I'm only guessing.)

This breakdown isn't provided (that I can see) so I kind of had to deduce it, and thus it is possible the missing three points were a mistake on one of the other leaders, but it does definitely seem like you should have had 24 points from leaders.

Have you filed a bug on this? Posting here isn't the right way to get the devs' attention and they may never see this post.

Nice!!!
Noticed one thing though. When building the play leader wonder as Rome while having no coins gets you blocked. You end up in a spot where the game tells you to play a leader but you can't. I hope this helps
