Description

3.6

In The Ming Voyages, one player commands the Chinese emperor, striving to complete all seven legendary treasure voyages while defending the borderlands from barbarian invaders. The other player controls three barbarian factions, each trying to settle on Chinese territory. With multi-function cards for actions and dice battles that reward triples and doubles, this asymmetric game offers tense, strategic conflict for history buffs and fans of one-vs-many card games.
