Description
Lead your dynasty to victory in the new digital adaptation of the acclaimed board game!
Found an Empire
Lead your dynasty to victory in the Warring States period of ancient China in the new digital adaptation of the acclaimed board game from Tigris & Euphrates designer Reiner Knizia.
Build & Conquer
Conflict is inevitable as your influence expands. Wage war upon neighboring states to slow their growth, and build spectacular pagodas to increase your own prestige. How will your reign be remembered?
Balance in All Things
Expand your civilization by placing tiles that represent the five facets of a thriving kingdom:
Governors - Keep the peace and quell revolts with a strong civic leadership!
Soldiers - Defend your growing empire -- or wage war upon your neighbors!
Farmers - Cultivate the banks of the Yellow and Yangtze rivers!
Traders - Acquire the resources your people need to prosper!
Artisans - Shape the culture of your dynasty and inspire your citizens!
Your legacy will be judged by your weakest category, so a wise leader must maintain harmony to achieve victory!
Praise for the physical board game:
"It's all very strategic as you build kingdoms and decide the best moment to attack. The game is very intense. It's delicious stress." - The Dice Tower
"Yellow & Yangtze is just awesome. Because you're trying to get a balance of all different colors, it's not just a tug-of-war back-and-forth. There's sort of this circular cyle of motion of different colors that people are going for, and it really makes the game super enjoyable. Overall, this game is amazing." - Board Game Geek
"An exceptional thematic work. Yellow & Yangtze condenses many many years of historical upheaval into a gripping hour of satisfying hobby." - PlayerElimination

Ratings and Reviews
Excellent but with a major (but not fatal) design flaw
I love this straightforward implementation of one of my favorite board games. App is attractive and works well EXCEPT that the tiles are key at the bottom of my screen, which means that half the time I try to slide a tile onto the board, my iPhone thinks I’m trying to switch apps. Could the tiles please be placed on the side or something?? Maybe in a corner? Very frustrating.
My new favorite digital board game
This game is a Blast! So much fun. I love the combination of abstract game, with subtle strategy needed to win(& which fits the China theme so well). The basic concepts are simple, but winning takes some thinking. The graphics and sound are fantastic. Dire Wolf does it again and I have to say, for me this is even better than Raiders of the North (which is also fantastic!) The Only thing I can say I’d like fixed is to have the ability to hide the banner with scenario goal at top right which takes up valuable real estate.
Best game, but needs online assistance
Devs, this game is amazing. The best, but it’s unplayable online. Sometimes, when I go to place a tile, the tile will get stuck in mid air, and basically freezes the whole game until a bot takes me over “for taking to long on my turn”. And then, so I’m forced to quit the game and when I come back, there’s no option to join back in. This needs fixing as I haven’t been able able to complete a single game online
