In our recent review of World Wonders we mentioned how it's more than just a tile-laying game and that there's plenty to think about during the game.

In addition to the spatial layout of your city, you need to consider the money you have to spend, how your resources are growing, where you want to be in turn order, how to keep expanding with roads, and when you'll meet the requirements for adding a monument to your city.

Well, if that's not enough for you, Arcane Wonders has already published an expansion for the game!

It's time to take a look at World Wonders: Mundo Wonders Pack.

Earlier this year, I had my first chance to play World Wonders – a fun new tile-laying board game published by Arcane Wonders in 2023.

I played it at one of the Hot Games tables at SaltCon Spring 2024 and immediately wanted to play it again.

I couldn't get it out of my mind and was still thinking about it a month later.

That's when you know you've found another great family board game.

Even though I'd categorize World Wonders as a tile-laying game, it's packed with much more than that. The game also includes economic, turn-order, and resource elements that keep players considering many choices throughout the whole game.

The first time I saw a version of Liar’s Dice was in the movie, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest. Will challenges Davy Jones to a game aboard the Flying Dutchman to find the location of the key to the Dead Man’s Chest.

With it being such a common game, you’d think I would have encountered it long before seeing that movie. But I hadn’t.

Since then though, I’ve come across a number of iterations of Liar’s Dice.

The latest iteration of the game was published last year by Arcane Wonders called Spoils of War.
