Description

In Yinzi, you'll take on the role of a merchant clan in 17th century China, navigating the thriving economy of the late Ming period. With 2 to 4 players, you'll compete to develop the most successful trade empire along the Yangtze river. The game is set in a time of great social mobility and economic growth, where crops like wheat, rice, and tea are in high demand, and goods like paper, porcelain, and silk textiles are highly prized. As you plant crops, develop raw materials, and build factories, you'll need to manage your resources carefully and balance your investments in river transport, market sales, and factory upgrades. With a playtime of 100 to 180 minutes, Yinzi is a game that requires strategic thinking and planning, but offers rich rewards for those who master its complexities. Designed by Costa, Rôla, and published in 2019, Yinzi is a challenging and engaging game that will keep you coming back for more.
