San Guo Sha: Complete Edition

A card-driven social deduction and combat game set in the era of the Three Kingdoms. Players take hidden roles with asymmetric win conditions and assume historical characters who grant unique skills; the ruler role receives an extra allegiance-related ability and many characters possess two powers. Play proceeds counter-clockwise as players spend cards to attack, defend, equip weapons (some with special effects), borrow opponents’ weapons, and play Peach/Beer to restore life even when a player would otherwise die. The set compiles the base game and the first three expansions in a metal tin; all components and cards use Simplified Chinese.
