About this game
Take a journey into the exciting world of Han Dynasty China, where deceit, deception and cunning lie at every corner of a land on the precipice of division. Play as one of six classes in an effort to best your friends using negotiation and wit in this strategy party game for three to six people.
Features
Rise up through the hierarchy by murdering, revolting or hiring others to dethrone your superiors. The higher your rank, the more points you accumulate
Barter gold and food with your friends in exchange for items and alliance, however, always expect deceit, even from your closest friends, as social manipulation might be the extra edge they need to win
When you hold the highest level of power, consolidate it by strategically keeping your friends at bay, while still establishing dominance as the one true king and the rightful successor of the Mandate Of Heaven.
