Challenges and riches along the legendary river of Rokugan.
Build your trade empire on the River of Gold while trying to gain influence at the courts of Rokugan, a legendary realm where divine favor can alter your fate.
Players take on the role of river merchants allied with legendary clans of samurai, each vying to exploit the river to gain wealth, glory, and wisdom. Will you invest in the development of ports, markets, shrines, and more along the banks of the busy river? Or will you rely on navigating the river of gold, increasing your wealth and influence through delivery contracts, visits to the nobility, and gathering a bit of divine favor in tough times?
Each turn, your die roll will present you with three unique opportunities, but you can only choose one: grow your trade empire by building along the riverbanks, sail with your boats to load them with goods and money, or strike a valuable deal with a prominent patron.
If the die result doesn’t fit your plan, you can leverage divine favor to manipulate destiny!
With the included free mini-expansion, Patrons of the Clans, you can also recruit a legendary patron with new and powerful abilities that will offer you alternative strategies and methods for victory!
The game also features a stunning board with embossed metallic gold elements, illustrated by master fantasy cartographer Francesca Baerald.
