Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Even today in china, the unmistakable evidence of a fascinating story is everywhere. Hundreds of years ago, the country teetered on the brink of a change in power. Regional rulers fought continuously with each other with only one goal in mind to become the new emperor. They erected imposing houses and sent their emissaries to the regional courts. This fascinating game of domination combines multiple tactical possibilities with simple-to-learn rules and a short playing time! China is based on the award-winning game web of power by master game designer michael schacht.

Product Description

This fascinating game of domination combines multiple tactical possibilities with simple-to-learn rules and a short playing time! Even today in China, the unmistakable evidence of a fascinating story is everywhere. Hundreds of years ago, the country teetered on the brink of a change in power. Regional rulers fought continuously with each other with only one goal in mind: to become the new Emperor. They erected imposing houses and sent their emissaries to the regional courts. China is an abstracted game of political influence in China. Players use cards to place pieces (Houses or Emissaries) into the nine regions on the board. When all house spaces in a region are filled (or at the end of the game), players score for majorities of houses in that region. At game end, players then score for having majorities of emissaries in two adjacent regions. Players also score for having four or more houses in an uninterrupted sequence along one of the roads on the board.

This review is from: Uberplay China Board Game (Toy)

China is a really fun boardgame. I played it at someone's house already and had to have it.

It doesn't have a lot of pieces so the set up is quick and easy, yet it surprisingly complex and strategic. Also, gameplay time for China has averaged around 45 minutes to 1 hour, which is quite fast for a strategy games.
