Yinzi - Ming

Yinzi - Ming: Build Your Clan’s Trading Empire

In Yinzi - Ming, you play as a clan of merchants developing the provinces of China at the end of the Ming Dynasty. Along the Yangtze River, grow your crops, process your resources in your workshops, and load your goods onto the ships waiting at the port. Build a true economic powerhouse: will you manage to increase your wealth and influence faster than rival clans?

How to play Yinzi - Ming?

The game consists of 4 rounds, each divided into three phases:

• Choose your turn order bonus: it grants you an advantage and determines your position in the turn order.
• Play your actions using 6 Order cards: have your peasants farm, sell at the local market, build or upgrade a workshop, increase your transport capacity, or bribe the administration. Also take action in the city to export goods, buy wood or stone, and produce goods.
• Maintain your clan: feed and pay your foremen, then confirm your caravans’ cargo.

At the end of the fourth round, the clan with the most wealth points wins.
