Century: Eastern Wonders is part two of Emerson Matsuuchis trilogy of Century games. Eastern Wonders is the sequel to Plan B Games Spice Road (a deck-building game about trading spices). Eastern Wonders offers some wonderful new flavours in the form of pick-up-and-deliver. The first player to complete four orders ends the game, and most points wins! Once again the aim is to collect spices ginger, chilli, tea and cloves. The game takes place on a modular archipelago of islands. Waiting on the four corners are specific spice orders. If you can sail to these locations and pay in said spices, you can earn mega points. Whenever orders get completed, a new one replaces it from a stack. Early game, one of the four ports closes, but this rearranges with every later order filled. Each island offers a different trade deal. Trading occurs like in Spice Road: players have a board with space for 10 spices that they can hold at any one time. On a players turn, they can sail their ship to an adjacent island to partake in the trade there. They can sail further this turn, but they have to drop off a spice per island they skip. These dropped spices can get snaffled up other players who visit that island on a later turn. To trade at these islands, you must build an outpost there. First to reach that island builds there for free. Future players to reach that island have to pay spices to build an outpost, so its even more of a race. If you can build on four different spice islands, you unlock points and bonuses. These could be the ability to sail further for free, or extending your mat (so you can hold more spices). The clever thing about Century: Eastern Wonders is that you can combine this with Spice Road. This creates a separate game all in itself called Sand To Sea!

Century: Eastern Wonders – Rules of Play says:

Centuries ago, the lucrative spice trade compelled the prosperous nations of the world to explore alternate routes to the sources of these precious goods. These nations took to the seas to seek out exotic lands. This led to the discovery of the famed Spice Islands where the most valuable spices of the world were found. This discovery also led to further exploration, competition….and later, war! During this time of prosperity and opportunity, you find yourself traveling on the high seas in search of these exotic wonders. As a merchant and privateer representing your nation, you seek to control this region for glory and profit. Your journey continues in the Far East…

Designed by Emerson Mastuuchi, Century: Eastern Wonders invites fans to return to the exciting world of spice trading as players take to the high seas in the role of merchants seeking to prosper in the exotic Indonesian islands. Century: Eastern Wonders offers new, satisfying game mechanisms that provide infinite replayability and countless strategies. Century: Eastern Wonders can be combined with Century: Spice Road to create a new gaming experience called Sand To Sea!
