📖 About This Game
Beijing is a strategy game in which players aim to maximize the prosperity and prestige of their province. They must call upon diverse courtiers like scholars, monks, warriors, and craftsmen to help them manage their province and withstand various unfortunate events. After twelve rounds, which represent the twelve months of a year, the player who best manages their province and endures these challenging times will earn the most honor and victory points.
The game consists of exactly 12 rounds, symbolizing the 12 months in a year. After the event and any decay, players move their scoring marker forward for each of their streets, each musician, and each spiral on their scrolls. The game ends after the scoring phase of the 12th round.
Additional Victory Points are awarded person tiles, Monks, and money. The player with the most victory points wins.
Beijing revitalizes In the Year of the Dragon, staying true to its core while introducing fresh improvements and increased variability. With refined mechanisms and new strategic options, Beijing enhances the tension and depth of the original.
