📖 About This Game
Nian Shou, an evil spirit, threatens the balance of our world. The most valiant Warrior among you will have the honor of challenging him to battle.
To gain energy points, carefully call on Celestial Spirits, and master your Yin-Yang.
But, you can also choose to make a pact with the Nian Shou Spirit to sow chaos and reign as a Tyrant over the world...
---
It is a competitive game : the player with the most energy points wins.
Gather 4 cards representing one of the celestial spirits to secure energy points.
You will be able to obtain these cards through 4 possible mechanisms :
push your luck when drawing for cards
use tokens in exchange for cards
steal cards from other players, using back side of your cards
special effects in advanced mode with your tokens
The game ends when a player has completed 3 spirit patterns (4 cards each). All players finish the round before accounting for points.
Unless one player is able to gather all 6 Nian Shou cards and immediately wins the game.
