A compact card game about building Tang dynasty Chang'an, where cards first sit on your personal gates producing resources before you finally push them into a district.
Who it's for
Anyone after a 45-minute card-driven city builder that works just as well solo or head to head.
Not for you if…
You prefer sprawling civilisation epics – this one stays small and abstract on purpose.
Vibe's take
Tight and quick – one action per turn keeps it lean, and the entire puzzle is timing the move from gate to district.
