Overview
In Yedo, players take on the roles of clan elders in feudal Japan, vying for influence in the city of Edo (now Tokyo). Over several rounds, you will deploy your limited number of workers to various districts within the city to perform actions such as collecting resources, training your clan members, constructing buildings, and engaging in political machinations.
The core gameplay revolves around carefully programming your workers' actions, strategically bidding for advantageous turn order, and skillfully managing your hand of cards to maximize your opportunities. As you navigate the complex landscape of Edo, you must balance your economic development with your political ambitions, all while contending with unexpected events and the ever-present threat of rival clans. The player who amasses the most prestige by the end of the game will be declared the winner, solidifying their clan's dominance in Yedo.
