Rules and game aids
The effect of the "dog" goodie
The "dog" from the 7 Wonders Architects preview is an alternative Progress token to the new "White Cat" token. At the start of the game, choose one or the other and in play apply its "domestication" effect. At the start of each of your turns, you can secretly look at the first card of the central deck, before choosing your card.
Antoine Bauza
"In the initial prototype of Medals, there were originally no medals! In an expansion for a family game, the ideal is to add a new mechanic without weighing down the overall rules. Not so simple... My first idea was to add GUILD cards to echo the older sibling, 7 Wonders. But, after some thought, it seemed lazy to reuse an existing mechanic. That's where the idea of placing objectives between players came in. It seemed to me both simple and intuitive while strengthening the interaction between players. It was also an opportunity to introduce attractive materials."
