Description

Set in China during the Ming Dynasty, players step into the shoes of powerful families vying for influence and power. The game revolves around the custom of exchanging gifts with officials, where the value of the gift you give must be higher than what you receive. This adds a layer of strategy as you decide how to navigate your actions each turn.

Travel across China, sail down the Grand Canal, and purchase precious jade while helping to construct the Great Wall. Use your cunning to secure advantages through decrees and intrigue. The goal is to earn an audience with the emperor, and if only one player achieves this, they win. If multiple players succeed, the one with the most victory points takes the crown. Enjoy a blend of strategy and rich historical themes in this engaging game!
