GamesReiner Knizia Yellow & Yangtze

Game overview

Lead your dynasty by balancing governors, soldiers, farmers, traders, and artisans to conquer and build prestige in ancient China’s turbulent Warring States era.

Forge Your Dynasty
Step into the turbulent era of ancient China’s Warring States and guide your royal lineage to triumph in this innovative digital rendition of the celebrated board game created by the legendary designer Reiner Knizia, known for Tigris & Euphrates.

Construct and Conquer
As your realm’s influence spreads, inevitable clashes arise. Engage in strategic battles against rival states to hinder their expansion, while erecting magnificent pagodas that elevate your prestige across the land. What legacy will your leadership leave behind?

Harmony in Governance
Grow your civilization by strategically placing tiles representing five essential pillars of a prosperous kingdom:
- Governors: Establish strong civic leadership to maintain order and suppress uprisings.
- Soldiers: Protect your expanding empire or launch campaigns to subdue neighboring territories.
- Farmers: Cultivate fertile lands along the banks of the Yellow and Yangtze rivers to sustain your population.
- Traders: Secure vital resources that fuel your people’s prosperity and growth.
- Artisans: Develop the cultural heritage of your dynasty, inspiring your citizens and enriching your society.

Victory depends on the weakest link within these five domains, so the sagacious ruler must strike a careful balance to ensure lasting success.

Critical Acclaim
