Description

The wedding robes of the Emperor of China have been stolen. They lie in pavilions around the "Forbidden City" and must be brought back. 25 Chinese stand in the center of the plan, each with a different coat and hat. First, each player commits himself to a character by setting its colors on a card. A cube with eight faces determines the first pavilion. The moved piece can, but does not have to, be the Chinese whose color you have chosen. Each character walks straight ahead until it encounters an obstacle, turns left or right there, moves on to the next blockade, and so on. This results in some strangely winding paths. After each completed move, one of three Fate Dice comes into action, deciding whether a player may continue. The chances are getting smaller step by step. That's why you have to decide when to go with the right character, because only that character can pick up a clothing card in the target pavilion. However, you can also bluff – but you must not let yourself be caught by the other players.
