At the Gates of Loyang

Theme: At the Gates of Loyang is a farming and trading game where players are farmers in China attempting to grow and then sell their goods in the market. With the use of specific helpers and fields, you will be able to increase both your production and income.

At the Gates of Loyang is award winning designer Uwe Rosenberg's third heavy Eurogame in the 'Harvest Trilogy' and in complexity sits between Agricola and Le Havre.

This is the new Z-Man Games version

Gameplay: At the Gates of Loyang is a trading and economic board game in which players produce goods by planting in their fields and then generate income by selling these goods to customers in the market.

Players receive two cards each round representing fields, customers, helpers and other miscellaneous objects each round through a bidding distribution mechanism. Additionally, an additional field is added for each player's each round

Placing one good on a field fills the complete field with goods of this type. In At the Gates of Loyang, each round one unit per field is harvested. After planting, harvesting and distributing cards each player can use as many actions as he wants, only limited by the number of his cards or the number of goods he owns. At the end of his turn he can invest the earned money on a scoring track where early money is worth more than late money. The game ends after a certain number of rounds and the player who is first on the scoring track wins.
