The Great Wall Incl Miniatures

Product Description The Great Wall Incl Miniatures

The Great Wall is a new asymmetric worker and soldier placement game with locomotive building themes and a twist in the form of a constantly attacking AI (Mongol Horde) that sometimes requires players to work together to defeat. This is a new large board game from Awaken Realms.
Players control ancient clans in China who are trying to defend themselves against invading Mongol hordes and build a Great Wall. While each player wants to win (by earning VP = honor) they sometimes have to work together to defend themselves against the hordes. Each clan will be asymmetric due to its chosen Leader (resource production/starting resources/starting workers and units) and this asymmetry will increase as the game progresses (players will hire Advisors with unique skills, often creating unique engines).

In The Great Wall, players take on the role of Generals defending the Wall from the Mongol Horde. The game is played over a series of turns called Years, each divided into 4 parts called Seasons.
In spring, new barbarian hordes invade the fields in front of the Wall and prepare for the attack. In summer, generals prepare for the attack and mobilize their troops. In autumn, players take turns playing Command cards, resolving their effects and activating locations to gain various benefits. In winter, the last layer of defense is activated and the hordes attempt to attack the walls.

As the game progresses, players will create their own unique locomotives based on their clan's strength and interact with other players throughout all stages of the game to try to gain the most Honor Points, which can be earned in a variety of ways.
At the end of the game, the player with the most honor wins.
