Eternal Dynasty is a game for 2-5 players with elements of territory control, worker placement, and political maneuvering. Each game consists of a number of Generations equal to the number of players, with each Generation consisting of several rounds of play. At the beginning of each Generation, players will select a Ruler who will have different inherent bonuses for Military or Political Influence, number of cards to play for their Generation, and a unique Ability. Players take on the role of feuding clans and will fight over control of the 18 provinces of ancient China. As the Generations progress, players will be able to adjust their strategies on the fly or continue reinforcing their current strategies as they change to a new Ruler.
