Expensive but worth it, awesome package. The additional modules add a lot of interesting gameplay possibilities. I hope! Still working may way through the training scenarios.

Emperor Qin Shi Huang has passed away. To protect him in the afterlife, a great army in the form of statues of faithful warriors must be assembled to stand guard in the Emperor's tomb. You will be among those tasked with building this magnificent army.
In Terracotta Army, you represent talented craftsmen and artists laboring to build the wondrous assembly of statues. During the game, you collect resources, upgrade your workers, and seek favor with the Emperor's advisors. Your goal is to play a crucial role in the process of creating the terracotta army, and your success is measured in victory points (VPs). During the game, you and your fellow players build the army together, but after the fifth round of the game is over, only one of you — the one with the most points — will stand as the winner.
During the game, you place warrior miniatures within the mausoleum, forming groups. A group's miniatures may belong to multiple players as denoted by the player bases on those miniatures. Multiple separate groups consisting of the same type of miniature may exist within the mausoleum.
You will have many opportunities to score points based on domination and presence. To achieve domination, you must be the only player with the most of the specific resource or type of statue currently being scored. (If you are the only player, you have domination.) To have presence, you must have at least one of the specific resource or type of statue currently being scored.
At the end of the fifth round, the player with the most VPs wins.
Fantastic Strategy game . Love how the action wheel can really change up the game.
I finally had a chance to try out Terracotta Army and was very impressed by its ease of play and interesting mechanics. This is a worker placement game about “worker placement”, it truly is a game within a game.
Our first game was with 3 players and while we all enjoyed the game immensely we also all agreed it would be an even better game with the max allowed 4 players as we could see the potential of strategy. We really liked how you only use 5 of the 12 possible “round scoring” tiles (chosen at random when setting up the game) which offers a different strategy in every game played.
An awesome game, I easily rate it a 9 out of 10 and look forward to playing it again.
Fantastic game. Easy rules with crunchy decisions.
