Great Wall of China
 |
The scene is China in the 1st Century BC. The Great Emperor Shi Huang Ti has unified the formerly warring Chinese provinces under his stern rule. He has ordered the building of a Great Wall to protect his fledgling Empire from raiding Mongols. The players take the roles of regional nobles¸ each eager to impress the fearsome ruler with their building and manning of the Great Wall. The object is to comply with the Emperor's orders by building section of the Great Wall. All players have an equal chance to please the Emperor. Whichever player contributes the most to its construction will earn tokens representing the Emperor's favor. The player with the highest total value of tokens at the end of the game is the winner. Will you use honor and ingenuity to build the longest wall section¸ or guile and trickery to disrupt their opponent's progress? Only the most cunning will win. The Great Wall of China is a family game for two to five players¸ aged ten or older. A game normally takes about 30 minutes to play
