Shitennō

Late 16th century, Honshu Island, Japan. Tokugawa Ieyasu, heir to a small, unimportant clan, unified Japan for the first time and brought the empire into the Edo era. Play as the Shitennō, those samurai generals who helped the Tokugawa Shogun to control the provinces. But keep an eye on the precedence of rank. You must take a stand in the Provinces of Ancient Japan in order to score points with the Shogun. Each round of play is divided into two phases:

1. Sharing titles, troops and wealth: the highest ranked player offers a set of cards to the player who follows him in the hierarchy. The latter can accept or refuse. If he refuses, the prize is offered to the next player and so on. As soon as a player accepts, he takes the batch of cards in his hand. If all players refuse, the highest ranked player (the one who formed the lot) gets it back. Then it is the next player in the order of the hierarchy who continues the sharing.

2. Taking control of the provinces: players can then place their checkers on the board by discarding either wealth cards (Kokus) of the correct value or Troupes cards of the requested combination. They then earn favor points and a bonus tile.

The game ends when a player has placed all his Kamon counters. For each Province, the player with the most counters wins additional favor points. The player with the most points at the end of the game is declared the winner.
