About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready to dive into Ancient China with Shu's Tactics, a solo campaign roll-and-write game that puts you at the heart of the Yellow Turban Rebellion! The story begins with Zhang Jue and his brothers, Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao, declaring a rebellion that spreads chaos across villages and cities. But not all hope is lost: Liu Bei, an idealistic young man, cannot stand to see so many innocent people suffer. He pledges brotherhood with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and together, these three heroes plan to raise an army to help the government quell the rebellion. And that's where you come in! Recognizing the potential and bravery of these men, you decide to join them, becoming a pivotal part in the building of the Shu nation. Your mission is clear: develop military tactics to reclaim cities and lands from the rebellious army. Through a series of chapters, you will train your troops, craft powerful items, devise clever schemes, and recruit legendary heroes to crush the rebellion. Every decision and every dice roll brings you closer to completing the saga of the Shu Han nation, as you write your own chapter in history.
