Tianxia – Governing, Trading, and Defending in an Age of Chaos
Tianxia transports you to China in 260 BC, the heart of the Warring States period, an era marked by endless wars, radical reforms, and aspirations for unification. In this strategic board game for 1-4 players , every choice is a political move, every action an investment in your house's future.
Among merchants, governors, and menacing nomads, you must navigate the turbulent waters of power: selling goods, strengthening rival dynasties, training soldiers, and building towers along the border. Each turn brings the enemy horde closer, and each battle shifts the balance of power. Only those who can balance economics, diplomacy, and defense will emerge as the greatest architects of Tianxia.
Deep strategy in an ancient world pulsating with life

🐸 HOW TO PLAY
1. Honor, Power, and Conflict in Ancient China.
In Tianxia , each player leads a noble family during the Warring States era, a time marked by war, intrigue, and political growth. Your goal? Accumulate prestige and favor with the great houses of the seven kingdoms, becoming the most respected name in the entire empire… before Qin unifies everything.
2. Four rounds to make your mark.
The game takes place over four main rounds , during which you will appoint governors, influence the most powerful houses, and build defensive structures against the barbarians of the north . Each choice you make strengthens your role as a politician and strategist, but beware: every action you take also impacts the balance between the kingdoms.
3. Trade and diplomacy take center stage.
Between battles, you'll have the opportunity to trade with the merchant ships docking on the Chinese coast. Selling the right goods at the right time will bring you riches and valuable benefits to strengthen your dominion. But the favor of the houses can also be earned through cunning moves and temporary alliances.
4. The nightmare of nomadic invasions.
With each round, the nomadic tribes approach threateningly. If you're not prepared with soldiers, towers, and walls , you could lose ground—and prestige. War spares no one, and the battles that break out on the border have collective and personal consequences: you'll want to cooperate... as long as it's truly in your best interest.
5. A race for power in a delicate balance.
In the end, the winner is the one who best balances all aspects: government, trade, defense, and political influence . Tianxia is a broad-based strategy game, where each round tells a new story of your rise. Prepare to live an epic era, and fight to become the true architect of unification.
