The highest bidder of each action space obtains the right to carry out the actions. Players bid for various actions with their general tokens. In more detail, Three Kingdoms Redux is played over a number of rounds, up to a maximum of twelve. Understand and take advantage of the power shifts, and you will fulfill your grand ambition of re-unifying China! But beware, for the balance of power shifts constantly during the game. Managing each aspect well earns victory points for your state. As a feudal lord, you manage the different aspects of running a state whilst guarding your borders against both rebellious border tribes and external enemies.
The weaker states of Wu and Shu protect themselves by forming an alliance. Players start the game from asymmetrical positions, reflecting the manpower advantages Wei enjoyed in the early part of the period. You assume the role of one of the three lords – Cao Cao leading Cao Wei, Sun Jian leading Eastern Wu or Liu Bei leading Shu Han.
Three Kingdoms Redux is a board game that seeks to recreate the tripartite between the states of Wei, Wu and Shu.
