The game is set around 260 BCE, a time when the seven warring kingdoms—yan, zhao, han, wei, qi, chu, and qin—were locked in fierce conflict, both against each other as well as against nomadic groups like the Xiongnu, who posed a threat from the north.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough sections of the great wall of china had been constructed as early as the 8th century BCE, the later years of the warring states period saw a surge in defensive building projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore the qin ultimately unified the kingdoms, extensive fortifications, watchtowers, and new sections of the wall were erected to bolster defenses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eGameplay\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Tianxia, players take the role of leaders of noble families who want to earn prestige, as well as favors from the powerful rulers that govern the seven warring kingdoms. The game lasts four rounds, in which you install governors in the regions, bolster the power of rival ruling houses and thus their favor. You also sell goods to merchant ships that sail the Chinese shores to gain wealth and various other benefits. Nevertheless, you must not forget about the nomadic warriors who pose a constant threat on the northern borders of the seven kingdoms. Thus, you must train soldiers and build walls and towers to weaken the invaders and protect your interests, earning prestige in the process. Each round the nomads (Xiongnu) advance toward the borders of the seven kingdoms and gather even larger numbers. When they reach the border a battle takes place that affects all players. At the end of the game, the player who was the best governor, politician, merchant, and protector becomes the winner!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Main Board (double-sided)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 Player Boards (double-sided)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 Barges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 Starting Supply Tiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 Palace Banner Tiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10 Income Building Tiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e18 Passive Building Tiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 Starting Building Tiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12 Additional Cost Tokens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 Port Demand Tiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e18 Ship Tiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e32 Demand Tiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e28 Palace Bonus Tiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e52 Regular Bonus Tiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16 Easy Nomad Attack Cards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16 Normal Nomad Attack Cards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e28 Objective Cards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 Player Aids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 Nomad Chieftains\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 Nomad Strength Markers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 Defense Markers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9 Neutral Meeples\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 50\/100 Prestige Points Tokens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 150\/200 Prestige Points Tokens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e75 Resources\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e25 Stone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e25 Rice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e25 Wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e60 Goods\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20 Silk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20 Helmet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20 Jewelry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e40 Coins\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30 “1”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10 “5”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePer Player Color (x4)\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16 Meeples\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 Walls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 Towers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 Action Markers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Turn Order Marker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Scoring Marker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 Palace Tracks Markers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7 Shipping Markers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7 Delivery Markers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Bonus Shipping Tile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Double Tower Tile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 Player Game Mode\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Bot Player Board\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9 Bot Cards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Bot Player Aid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolo Game Mode\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Solo Player Board\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16 Li Mu Cards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Solo Mode Player Aid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Six-sided Die\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Universal","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42335795871828,"sku":"BND0139","price":64.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0576\/9802\/5556\/files\/BND0139.jpg?v=1754785168","url":"https:\/\/amazingstoriesgames.ca\/products\/tianxia","provider":"Amazing Stories","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
