China: The Embassies

About this expansion

China: The Embassies is a 2011 expansion for China for 3–5 players, with a listed play time of 45 minutes. It adds another scoring option to the base game through the introduction of embassies.

On a turn when a player has the option of placing two pieces, they may place an embassy alongside a house. This gives players an additional way to score points, with embassies scoring at the end of the game.

The expansion keeps its central rule addition focused and easy to identify: an available two-piece placement can be used to combine a house with an embassy. The embassy then contributes to the final scoring at the end of the game.

• Expansion for China

Unlike many other small China expansions that were print-and-play releases, China: The Embassies is supplied as a thick cardboard punch sheet. Its components match the professionally printed quality of the base game.

The Embassies are distributed through the BoardGameGeek store. For players looking to add a distinct final-scoring element to China, this compact expansion provides a physical component and a clearly defined new option during play.
