Chinese nobles compete to guide their provinces through a disastrous year of imperial demands, droughts, disease, and Mongol raids.

Gameplay

Score the most points by taking a monthly action and playing a person card into your palace to gain income, rice, protection, and endgame bonuses. The pressure is surviving each looming disaster while opponents block the actions and recruits you need most.
