Since 2021, The Great Wall: Black Powder has captivated fans of worker placement with its heavy complexity design.
How It Plays
Command Cards
Special cards let you issue orders to your units — picking the right command at the right time is critical.
Income
You earn resources automatically each round based on what you've built up — the snowball effect is real.
Investment
You put resources into ventures that pay off later — patience and timing can lead to huge returns.
Secret Unit Deployment
You place your units face-down so opponents don't know what you've got — the reveal is always exciting.
Turn Order: Claim Action
You grab turn order by claiming a specific action — being first has its perks if you plan for it.
Worker Placement
You place your workers on action spaces to claim them before anyone else — it's a scramble for the best spots!
