At any time during the game you can choose to discard a card under construction to get the recycling bonus; you lose any materials that had been allocated to the card and the card is then discarded.

This bonus will be either a general or a financier, these are the two people on the box cover by the way. There is certainly a big bright side to the campaign, however: it inspired me to bring It’s a Wonderful World back out, which remains an absolutely stellar game. And although the player interaction isn’t as strong, it is still a really fun game that doesn’t outstay it’s welcome.

Victory often provides additional cards to supplement your game in a positive way while losing does the same with a penalty card—or one with a lesser benefit. It is a game of efficiency and engine building, taking its core from games like 7 Wonders and Sushi Go and dialling up the fun without raising the complexity. But once built will give you some kind of benefit each turn and maybe a little bonus when you first complete it too.

These are often expensve to build and the scoring is harder to achieve but the reward is much greater.place cubes - as during drafting cubes are placed on incomplete cards and completed cards may immediately be built and added to Empire tableau. A few important quirks here and there add some more decisions, like exchanging 5 resources for a wild red resource, or gaining a bonus for producing the most of one of the resource types, rounding out an incredibly confident and satisfying package.

Those in your constructed are considered “Under Construction” and the recycled ones are discarded and you collect the Recycling bonus resource cube. Similarly, indexing on Fight Lady or Money Man seems to be workable if you can grab the right cards and multipliers. Cubes gained are placed onto kept cards to pay for their building cost (upper-left) or on starting Empire card where 5 will immediately be converted to a single red (wild) cube to be used on demand.I think that this is the first campaign I’ve played where it was not intended as part of the game from the outset; an added package rather than a new version with an integrated campaign. Some games were won with many low point scoring buildings, some with heavy-hitting scoring cards and one was based on earning multipliers based on the number of Supremacy tokens earned! I don’t know if it was intended this way, but from experience, I say such a thing is rarely a coincidence, and therefore It’s a Wonderful World is saying more than what’s apparent at the surface – making its name even more cynical than it already is. Yes, I could go on BGG and read reviews or go on YouTube and watch some, but I'd rather start a thread because I like chatting with nice people and y'all are nice people. After everyone has selected a card players simultaneously reveal the card they have selected, placing it face up in front of them.

The base experience of It’s a Wonderful World is deceptively simple, because there is much more to explore in its tactical depths that might not seem obvious based on the light ruleset.

I can think of very few drafting games that play solo and not many more that play well at two without large modifications to the rules.

At this point you have to decide whether you move the cards drafted into your “construction area” or whether you recycle them for their one time recycle resource. His tokens are already worth points (and I get them from controlling yellow resources, which tend to come from cards that produce more Money Men), so, worst case, I end up with a bunch of points and resources that I can turn into more points! Corruption and Ascension is a true-blue expansion to It’s A Wonderful World, including a separate deck of additional development cards as well as extra bits to make the game playable with 6-7 players.
