The Great Wall is a fantasy board game inspired by the history of the Great Wall of China, Song Dynasty, and Genghis Khan’s conquests. Players take the role of Generals defending the Wall against the Mongol Horde. The game is played over a series of turns called Years, each divided into 4 parts called seasons. Players will control ancient clans in China trying to defend against invading Mongolian hordes and build a Great Wall. While every player will want to win, they also need to sometimes cooperate to defend against the hordes. Each clan will be asymmetric through its chosen Leader and this asymmetry will increase as the game progresses.
