Description

This is a card game for 2-5 players. Each player takes on the role of a king trying to expand one's kingdom (represented by cards placed on one's own area) meanwhile suppressing others to expand by imprisoning opponents' cards. The game finishes in 5 rounds and the player running the biggest kingdom wins. Each round is made up of 5 phases, within which 2 phases are either of diplomatic or military actions (which correspond to either the diplomatic or military numbers shown on the cards), when most of the time is spent on playing cards from ones' hands. Based on the results of battles or political struggles, rewards (be able to expand) or punishment (lose a piece of land) will be given to the kings. New logics are introduced in this poker-like game such as King's cards, imprisoning, alliance, stewardship, etc. The basic rule is also expandable with cards of national strategies (LCG), guest cards, professional cards, treasure cards (CCG), or small DBG varieties upcoming.

The first version of the game is based on the history of the Warring States in China, circa 276 B.C.
