Presentation at Spiel '12 (Essen)
When I first broke out this game, I was surprised at how good it actually looks. Pictures just don't do justice to the way the colors and pagodas mix together to make a lovely thing to look at and build out.

This game is so good. I am happy I got another copy as my old was ruined by a flood. Great game

Overview

In Qin players colonize the Chinese hinterland, seize territories, and expand their influence by placing tiles and pagodas.

A move is simple: You choose one out of three tiles from your hand, place it onto the grid of the board, then draw a new tile. Each tile shows two landscapes. If you create a territory that consists of at least two spaces of the same landscape, you seize it. You can also expand your territories, take over territories from other players, and connect your territories to villages on the board. All of this enables you to place pagodas. The player who is first to get all his pagodas on the board wins.
