About the game

What you do in a play session

If you're a fan of Rising Sun's intricate strategy and political maneuvering, get ready for more! The Dynasty Invasion expansion throws a fresh batch of clãs into the mix: the Moon Clan and the Sun Clan. These newcomers ditch the familiar Japanese monsters, opting instead for their own unique Seven Lucky Gods. Each new clan brings distinct gameplay twists: the Moon Clan starts with low honor but boasts units that count as double strength, making territory control a breeze. The Sun Clan, on the other hand, begins with the highest honor and rewards you with victory points and coins for defeating rivals, emphasizing the importance of maintaining prestige. This expansion doesn't just add new clans and high-quality components (check out those miniatures!); it injects a significant dose of variety and replayability. With new season cards and the formidable Lucky Gods, games become even more dynamic, packed with challenging decisions. It's designed for players seeking deeper strategic options and more ways to outwit their opponents in the already rich world of Rising Sun. Gather your allies (and prepare for betrayals) for more epic battles!
