Description

In the history card game ???? (Orewa Gozoku) (I, Clansman), you play roles of the lords of ancient Japan and lead your clans for 16 generations -- from the 4th to the 7th Century A.D.. You compete each other in collecting political powers. Victory Points are earned when you contribute to strengthen the kingdom in military, economy and other fields. At the end of the 7th Century, the player with the most VPs is the winner and becomes the highest rank aristocrat in the newborn empire.

The game is played in 16 rounds. Each round, players take turns placing their workers on production buildings in a counterclockwise order, and then buying cards from the market in a clockwise order. When you buy a card, the production buildings you own and the one occupied by your worker in total must produce the resources sufficient for the card's cost. Some cards become your own production buildings, and others provide VPs.
