Shu’s Tactics

About this board game

Shu’s Tactics is a 60-minute campaign roll-and-write game for 1–2 players, set during the Yellow Turban rebellion in China.

Zhang Jue and his siblings, Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao, have begun a rebellion that is bringing destruction to cities and villages. Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei have sworn brotherhood and are gathering an army to help the government quell the uprising.

As an ally of the three brothers, you will help build the forces needed to reclaim cities and lands from the Yellow Turban rebellious army. Each chapter advances the story of the Shu Han nation while challenging you to develop effective military tactics.

• Train your army for the campaign ahead.
• Craft items to support your efforts.
• Draw up schemes to help overcome the rebellion.
• Recruit legendary heroes to strengthen your cause.

The game combines the flexibility of a roll-and-write system with a structured campaign. Your journey follows a set of chapters, allowing the conflict and the rise of Shu to unfold through a connected story rather than a single isolated battle.

Shu’s Tactics places you alongside Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei as they take their first steps toward building an army. Join forces with the brothers, shape your military tactics, and become part of the history of the Shu nation.
