Overview

Terracotta Army places you in the role of artisans during the construction of the Emperor Qin Shi Huang's massive funerary complex. Players strategically place terracotta miniatures, representing different classes of warriors and laborers, onto the board to gain influence in various areas and trigger powerful actions. Each miniature possesses unique abilities and synergies, requiring careful planning and placement to maximize their effectiveness.

As artisans, you'll not only be placing your units, but you'll also be rotating the Palaces to affect what resources are available and which workers activate. You will need to optimize your actions to ensure you are collecting the correct resources, gaining influence and prestige, and ultimately contributing the most to the Emperor's grand vision to secure your place in history.
