Xi'an: Terracotta Army

Players act as imperial delegates overseeing the construction of the mausoleum’s terracotta warriors for the first emperor of China. Each player manages a team of workers, gathers resources, and crafts and decorates warrior statues, equipping them with wood and bronze weapons to earn prestige. Play runs six turns with two rounds per turn; players draw four personal worker cards, choose two to play in the first round and resolve the remaining two in the second round. The game rewards efficient resource management and planning across twelve plays per player, and the highest prestige score after six turns wins.

Excellent game: simple mechanics, easy to be set-up, easy to learn. Correct in length (in 4p -60 minutes) and very enjoyable, smooth, clean and fun. The theme is very well implemented especially considering it is a tight german at the end. Very nice action selection mechanics based on ancient chinese cards game the game is very well balanced especially considering it is cards driven: e.g. green cards, the helpers, are very powerful at th beginning of the game but you can draw them all in late game: in this case you are very well compensated by a lot of points! The game deserves best materials
