Through this, Ying Zheng became the first emperor in Chinese history, taking the title of Qin Shi Huang Di.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlenty of things had to change in order to make the Chinese empire whole, and Qin Shi Huang Di didn't waste any time. He divided the empire into prefectures, personally appointing central and local functionaries; afterward, he decreed that the same writing symbols had to be used throughout the entire nation. Furthermore, he unified the laws and the units of measure, particularly the currency, creating amazing conditions for the economic development and growth of the empire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInternal decisions were not the only things that shaped this new unified nation. From the North, the menace of the Hsiungnu barbarians kept shaking the empire, and Qin Shi Huang Di knew that the only way to stop that menace was to build one of the most ambitious buildings in human history: The Great Wall of China. Thousands of peasants left their fields to take part in the construction, not only of the Great Wall, but also of roads, channels, palaces, and majestic buildings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cstrong\u003eZhanGuo\u003c\/strong\u003e, you are the emperor's emissaries, and you have been assigned the challenging task of contributing to the process of unifying the empire, helping to build the wall, and all infrastructures needed. During the five rounds of the game, you must make the best of the few cards you get each round. You can play each card either on your own player board to increase your personal power in the empire, or on the game board to recruit manpower, construct buildings wanted by the emperor, call reinforcements from Qin, and move the armies from kingdom to kingdom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach player has to choose the best time and best way to play his cards in order to earn the emperor’s favours. Careful, though, because trying to get too much power, or exploiting the workers for personal gain could increase dissatisfaction among the populace, and consequently increase the risk of uprisings in the newly added kingdoms. Whoever is able to make the greatest contribution to the emperor's cause, while at the same time keeping the citizens placid, will be the winner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eComponents:\u003c\/u\u003e 1 Gameboard, 4 Player Boards, 120 Cards, 40 Worker tiles, 6 Wall tiles, 12 Task tiles, 1 Round Marker, 32 Governors, 20 Walls, 24 Palaces, 32 Tracking discs, 20 Unrest markers, 60 Officials cubes, 4 100\/200 Points Tiles, 39 Unification markers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003ePlayers:\u003c\/u\u003e 2-4\u003cbr\u003e\u003cu\u003eSuggested Ages:\u003c\/u\u003e 12 and up\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"What's Your Game?","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52047247737181,"sku":"WYG_ZG","price":31.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0873\/2442\/6589\/files\/ZhanGuo.jpg?v=1719630899"},{"product_id":"nippon","title":"Nippon","description":"\u003cp\u003eJapan during the Meiji period — a closed, isolated, and feudal country — decides to change into a modern westernized state.

Madeira, the Portuguese word for wood, refers to the dense forest that covered its wild, fertile landscape. This, and its strategic position far into the Atlantic Ocean made the island one of the most significant Portuguese discoveries. Madeira served as a “laboratory” for what would become the Portuguese Empire.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWheat plantations were the first means for survival on the island. After that, when D. Henrique decided to increase the economy of the Empire, sugar became the core business of Madeira. Once sugar started coming from other places in the world, such as Africa and Brazil, profits from sugar were no longer enough, and production of the very famous Madeira wine became the most important economic product of the island.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePlayers try to adapt themselves to these constraints, working to find better fields for farming the right goods and for obtaining precious wood, essential for erecting new structures in the cities and for building ships.
