Beautifully crafted game with distinct clan's both in look and playing style. Have played a few games now 1 4 player and 2 5 player, each player through has been very different as we get to grips with the rules and the changing gods 4 per play through 7 to choose from as well as the 3 different sets of season cards. Quick Overview. The game plays through 4 seasons with the last one being more of a final tally up season, each season (1–3) consists of Tea Ceremony where alliances are forged, then the Mandate phase where tiles are drawn to allow actions, and finally the war where the battles are fought over the active provinces.
