## Description
Round House takes players into the towering circular houses of Fujian, China, in the 17th century. Each player becomes the head of a clan, directing members around a multi‑level building that acts as a tiny family kingdom. The board is a rondel representing the house’s corridors; moving your pawns clockwise lets you choose actions such as gathering goods, trading them for money, hiring specialists, or sending relatives on distant ventures. Open drafting lets everyone pick from the market’s available resources, while worker placement determines who controls crucial spots. As you collect sets of items, you earn glory points and eventually bring your family home to honor the ancestors. The game blends economic strategy with a medieval theme, requiring long‑term planning and quick adaptation to opponents’ moves. With a playtime of 60‑90 minutes for 2‑5 players and a moderate complexity, it’s perfect for those who enjoy resource‑management games without overwhelming rules. If you like the feeling of leading an entire clan in an exotic historic setting, Round House delivers an engaging, well‑balanced experience where every turn around the rondel can shift your dynasty’s fate.
