7 Wonders: Leaders
We use an alternate draft strategy for the Leaders expansion that allows a lot more flexibility and control of what you get – effectively removing a good bit of the ugly randomness that this expansion adds provided you use the rulebook draft method.
We utilize a “Rochester” draft of the cards, meaning we select the cards that will be available to all players and place them face up in front of everyone. Then we choose someone who chooses first and they get any one card that is face up on the board. The card picks move to the players right and continue until we get to the last player to pick. That player picks twice and the pick order is reversed – so the player who picked first will now be the last person to choose. When it gets back to the original start player he will choose two cards and the pick order reverses again. We do this until all players have 4-5 cards (your choice!) and then begin the game.
It does add a bit of time to the startup of the game but the richness in strategy is well worth it. If you give this variant a try give me some feedback as to how your local players like it compared to the original draft rules.
Have fun!
