Let’s Play Yellow & Yangtze! @Anchorhead Coffee!

It is the period of the Warring States (475-221 BCE) 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. Players are given five different leaders: Governor, Soldier, Farmer, Trader, and Artisan. Players build civilizations through tile placement. 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 which encourages players not to get overly specialized. Conflict arises when civilizations connect on the board, i.e., external conflicts, with only one leader of each type surviving such a conflict. Leaders can also be replaced within a civilization through internal conflicts.
New players are welcome, and the host is happy to teach if you haven't played before.

2 - 4 players
1 - 2 hours expected play time, depending on turnout and player familiarity. We will be running two boards.

A few important details:

• This event is scheduled to start at Noon PLEASE be on time!
  Please factor traffic & parking into your commute.
• Speaking of… It's Cap Hill/First Hill/Seattle U, so parking can be a challenge. Sorry, it's a walking neighborhood! Anchorhead is only a few blocks from the First Hill Streetcar (Broadway & Pike/Pine or Broadway & Marion stops are about the same distance) and very close to the #2 and #12 bus lines, though.
• Purchasing something isn't a strict requirement, but it's nice to do since we're using the space. Please support the business if you can!
• If you need to cancel please do so as soon as you know. People on the waitlist and playing that day will appreciate it!
• I open signups for most of my events 1-3 days before pressing the "announce" button here on Meetup; if you want to know about that when it happens and have the opportunity to claim a seat before others, you can join the Seattle Board Games Discord server, where I'll post to let users there know as soon as RSVPs open!
