How It Plays

Area Majority / Influence

You're competing to have the most presence in key areas on the board — think of it like a friendly turf war.

Hand Management

You have a hand of cards and deciding which to play, save, or discard is the core puzzle.

Network and Route Building

You connect locations to form networks — the bigger and smarter your network, the more points you earn.

About This Game

China - The Embassies is an expansion for China that adds another scoring option to the game. On their turn, when players have the option of placing two pieces, players may place an embassy along with a house which will score points at the end of the game. The Embassies are distributed through the BGG store and are unlike many other small expansions for China that were print and play; it is a thick cardboard punch sheet that matches the professionally printed quality of the base game.
