Board Game Geek Reviews


  1. 8.5 out of 10

    One play with 4. Very tight design. There's no other game that plays quite like it (excluding Tigris & Euphrates which Y&Y re-implements). Definitely abstract, but can feel a bit of theme with the artwork. Combative, but in a non "take that" kind of way. "Not for everyone" most definitely applies here, but fun and engaging for me, and highly interactive, without being interrogating.

  2. 6 out of 10

    Feels like a neutered version of T&E. Conflicts score fewer points. Monuments score fewer points. Wilds are more abundant. Catastrophes are virtually unlimited. Hexes are more forgiving with board positioning. Yes, it's different, but those differences mostly serve to eliminate the tension and consequences of the original. Take away the Knizia label and it's just another average, modern game.

  3. 9 out of 10

    Equal turns variant? Players 2/3/4 draw 7/8/9 and discard down to 6? Players 2/3/4 get 1/2/3 yellows or randomly drawn points? Open scoring variant?

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.
