Emperor Qin Shi Huang died. To protect him in the afterlife, a large army in the form of statues of loyal warriors must be assembled to guard the Emperor's tomb. You will be among those tasked with building this magnificent army. In the Terracotta Army, you represent talented craftsmen and artists working to build the wondrous assemblage of statues. During the game you collect resources, upgrade your workers and seek the favor of the Emperor's advisors. Your goal is to play a crucial role in building the Terracotta Army, and your success is measured in Victory Points (VP). During the game, you and your fellow players build the army together, but after the fifth game round only one of you - the one with the most points - will emerge victorious. During the game you place warrior miniatures in the mausoleum and form groups. The miniatures in a group can be owned by multiple players, as indicated by the player bases on those miniatures. Within the mausoleum there can be several separate groups made up of the same type of miniature. You have many ways to score based on dominance and presence. To gain supremacy, you must be the only player with the most resources or statue types in the current leaderboard. (If you are the only player, you have dominance.) To be present you must have at least one of the specific resources or statue types that are being scored. At the end of the fifth round, the player with the most VP wins.
