Description

In Jigūan: The Eastern Mechanist, you'll take on the role of a master mechanist, tasked with creating unique mechanical beasts to advance your place in the Five Pagodas. This ancient Chinese science of Jiguan is said to hold mysterious powers, and as a skilled engineer, you'll need to acquire parts, obtain energy, and improve your skills to bring your creations to life. Your goal is to earn honor and contribute to the advancement of Eastern civilization. As you play, you'll compete with other mechanists to build the most impressive mechanical beasts, earning you honor points and bonuses. With two periods of play, you'll need to strategically manage your resources and build your creations before the parts supplies run out. The player with the most honor points at the end of the game will be declared the winner, showcasing their mastery of Jiguan and their place as a leading mechanist in the Eastern world.
