Players begin each hand with a mixture of Chu and Han cards, representing strains within clans, hostage taking, and shifting allegiances. Optional Events and two historical campaigns provide additional variety.
The goal is to score 31 points before the other player. Can you outmaneuver your rival to found a new dynasty?

Lockwood, New York-based cartographers.The game consisted of a map, which players would traverse via 139 municipalities that they had to correctly identify to move forward, determining how far they could move with a teetotum.[1][3] In an advanced version of the game, players were also required to name the populations of the cities and towns they landed on, and the game also offered trivia about each locality.[3][5] The winner was the first player to reach New Orleans.
Travellers Tour was also the first board game based on a map of the United States.[1][4] At the time, the nations westernmost states were Louisiana and Missouri, the latter of which had only gained statehood a year prior to the games publication.
