Genpei stands out for its original mechanics in which players will chain actions to get closer to victory by influencing more clans than their rivals. Easy to play but difficult to master.

On your turn you must play one of the two cards in your hand. Whenever you play a clan card, activate the clan marker on the corresponding clan wheel: move the marker to one of two adjacent spaces and perform the indicated action on that space. You can perform a chain of actions during the same turn: each time you draw a card as part of an action, its clan marker is activated. Place your influence tokens to gain the support of the Houses.

The player who receives the support of the most Houses (including the Emperor's House) is declared the new Emperor and wins the game.
