Board Game Geek Reviews


  1. 8 out of 10

    So different, so fun! The twist of having to evenly spread out your points is so tricky to figure out, but so fun at the same time. Very simple once you get the Revolts and Wars figured out.

  2. 9.5 out of 10

    Pure genius. Mostly played at 2 player but this brings the tension and decision making of a war-like game into an abstract setting where it just works. Every decision feels crucial and the fluid board state always keeps me on my toes.

  3. 7.5 out of 10

    As is well known, this is a reprise of the classic Knizia game. The best change is using hexes instead of squares and the simplification of temples for scoring. I don't think the changes to tile powers (?) are for the better in every case - but then again, I'm not a strong player and I can see that having these additional choices makes for more fun for those who have exhausted the play of the original game. Over all, this is very solid in play, quite brutal at times, but so interesting is positioning and using your tiles to their greatest effect. Classic game feel and very good.

The period of the Warring States (475-221 BCE) describes a time of endless wars between seven rival states: Qin, Chu, Qi, Yan, Han, Wei, and Zhao. These states were finally unified in 221 BCE under the Qin dynasty to lay the origin of today’s China, with its two main rivers: the Yellow and the Yangtze.

Yellow & Yangtze, the sister game to the highly acclaimed board game Tigris & Euphrates, invites you to replay this eventful period and to lead your dynasty to victory.

In Yellow & Yangtze, players build civilizations through tile placement. Players are given five different leaders: Governor, Soldier, Farmer, Trader, and Artisan. The leaders are used to collect victory points in these same categories. However, your score at the end of the game is the number of points in your weakest category. Conflicts arise when civilizations connect on the board. To succeed, players’ civilizations must survive these conflicts, calm peasant revolts, and grow secure enough to build prestigious pagodas.
