Description
In 221 B.C., all the Warring States are brought together by Qin Shi Huangdi: This is the birth of the Chinese empire. A skilled, determined strategist and a shrewd governor, he undertakes actions aimed at standardizing all the elements at the basis of Chinese society and culture: he imposes a single script and a single currency, then he establishes a new system of laws equal for all. He also builds palaces, installs local governors, and starts the works for the construction of the greatest building in the history of mankind: the Great Wall.
In his quest for immortality, he sends ships in search of the legendary elixir of life, and he builds a huge mausoleum containing the scale reconstruction of his empire: in defense of it for eternity, he deploys an impressive terracotta army.
Go along with the Emperor's plans to offer your family a place in the Terracotta Army. To help you in this challenging task, six cards will be at your disposal every round: they will give you permanent support during the rest of the game or will obtain you the Emperor's approval for your actions.
At the end of the game, the player who made the greatest contribution to the Emperor's cause by scoring the most Victory Points will be the winner!
