Jiangxi is a 2 player strategy game where each individual plays an Asian Faction fighting for control of the land. Each player will attempt to kill the opponents Emperor to claim the throne and win the game. This is done by moving their pawns into the opponent's emperor space in the center of the board. During each turn, a player will choose a pawn to move to an adjacent open slot. Then they choose to either rotate a ring of the board, place a dragon cylinder to block an opponent or forfeit their secondary action, which removes the rotation tracker from the board. If the player chooses to rotate the ring that their pawn has entered or the center ring, they must mark which direction they rotated the ring by placing the rotation tracker on it. This blocks the next player from undoing the rotation that was just completed. Each player plans their movements, but find that the grounds beneath them are always shifting, forcing them to plan their movements even more carefully. —description from the designer
