Hachette Boardgames will release ZhanGuo: The First Empire, a new strategy board game by Sorry We Are French, which will hit retail in Q4 2023.

This game, designed by Marco Canetta and Stefanin Niccolini, takes place during the Chinese empire in 221 B.C., which is under the rule of Qin Shi Huangdi.

They must manage the six cards at their disposal each round to support their case and obtain the Emperor's approval for their actions. The player who made the greatest contribution to the Emperor’s cause during the game will score the most Victory Points and win.

This game is for one to four players, ages 14 and up, and plays in 60 to 120 minutes.
