Genghis Khan is getting old and the mongols need to choose their next leader. As one of his heirs, you need to prove your valor by sacking and conquering the ancient Asian cities to be elected the new Khan. The aim of the game is to secure votes in the Kurultai council by collecting sacked treasures and completing the demands of the councilors, and by using your yurts to control the 3 main regions of the empire. In their turn, players will choose 1 action in their board, to move around Asia collecting tributes from the provinces, sacking cities to collect treasures, upgrading their actions and placing their yurts. When the council is filled, whoever has more votes will win. —description from the designer
