Description

In Sun Tzu, you'll take on the role of a legendary commander, leading your army to unify ancient China through strategic deployment of forces. This 30-minute game for two players is easy to learn, but challenging to master. You'll play cards to specific provinces, trying to outmaneuver your opponent and gain the upper hand. The game has a thrilling "tug-of-war" feel, as you try to move the scoring marker to your side of the track. With each turn, you'll need to think carefully about which cards to play and when, as some can only be used once. Designed by Al Newman and first published in 2005, Sun Tzu is a game of strategic thinking and tactical skill, where the right moves can lead to victory and the wrong ones can leave you defeated.
