At the start of the game, each player takes a hand of four leaders and may play one at the start of each of the three Ages. Unlike the standard cards, leaders cost money (not resources).

The expansion comes with a new Wonder—the ancient city of Rome—and contains 6-gold tokens made of cardboard for more efficient money-management.
