Mostly abstract choices. Point grab. The wheel didn’t seem all that great. The first turn of the game seems very rough for 3-4th players. I probably would like it better if you got or could earns some rotation tokens to give players at least a little flexibility in the game. None of our players really liked it, I might be willing to replay it, but there would need to be another reason. Woodcrafters and Tiletum both seem better for the action selection methods that are very similar.

Really interesting game with a neat double rondel system that reminds me of Noria. The miniatures puzzle of stacking and building out the statues is very cool and leaves room for lots of strategy and planning. Can’t wait to play again and try some new paths.

The wheel provides a nice twist to the worker placement genre and while much of the play is tactical, there is alot of strategy involved in choosing which clay soldiers to build and where to build it...and the specialists have abilities that can interact in interesting ways and modify the dominance in unexpected ways - especially in the end game scoring. Turn order can be important and there are distinct advantages to going first as well as last. Going first gets you first choice of the action slots but going last potentially gives you more control over the end of round scoring - especially the inspector scoring as long as you are prepared.

You must be logged in to post a review.

Emperor Qin Shi Huang has passed away. To protect him in the afterlife, a great army in the form of statues of faithful warriors must be assembled to stand guard in the Emperor’s tomb. You will be among those tasked with building this magnificent army.

In Terracotta Army, you represent talented craftsmen and artists laboring to build the wondrous assembly of statues. During the game, you collect resources, upgrade your workers, and seek favor with the Emperor’s advisors. Your goal is to play a crucial role in the process of creating the terracotta army, and your success is measured in victory points (VPs). During the game, you and your fellow players build the army together, but after the fifth round of the game is over, only one of you — the one with the most points — will stand as the winner.

During the game, you place warrior miniatures within the mausoleum, forming groups. A group’s miniatures may belong to multiple players as denoted by the player bases on those miniatures. Multiple separate groups consisting of the same type of miniature may exist within the mausoleum.

You will have many opportunities to score points based on domination and presence. To achieve domination, you must be the only player with the most of the specific resource or type of statue currently being scored. (If you are the only player, you have domination.) To have presence, you must have at least one of the specific resource or type of statue currently being scored.

At the end of the fifth round, the player with the most VPs wins.
