About the game
Every good master knows it's best to lead from the front! With the Leaders of Xīnjīng expansion, you can join your students out in the field, giving a more direct hand in the action. Leaders of Xinjing introduces asymmetrical player powers, which come in the form of your leader cards. Choose one of the eight leaders as your master, and assign your school's special leader meeple to tasks alongside your students. While your leader does not contribute its own labor value to the task, it does lend a special ability or quality to your action, and their influence can give you a significant advantage when it comes to recruiting new students! —description from the publisher
