About This Content Only the host needs to own this DLC. 3 Players | Ages 14 & Up 135-165 MinutesAbout Three Kingdoms ReduxThe Han Dynasty, founded in 206 BC, ruled the central plains and much of modern day China for nearly four hundred years. However, by late second century, court politics and poor governance has left it in rapid decline. The government was dominated by corrupt eunuchs and officials who levied heavy taxes on the peasants, resulting in public discontent. This culminated in the Yellow Turban Rebellion led by Zhang Jiao in 184 AD during the reign of Emperor Ling (168-189 AD).Although the Yellow Turban Rebellion was eventually put down, many surviving followers went on to become bandits and continued to create problems for the government. The Han army was unable to control the bandits and Emperor Ling granted direct administrative power over provinces and command of regional military to local lords. Many feudal lords took the opportunity to sever ties with the Han government and ruled independently. The more ambitious lords annexed neighbouring territories to expand their power bases. This led to the emergence of the three power blocs of Wei, Wu and Shu, and ushered in the Three Kingdoms period.Three Kingdoms Redux is a board game that seeks to recreate the tripartite between the states of Wei, Wu and Shu. You assume the role of one of the three lords – Cao Cao leading Cao Wei, Sun Jian leading Eastern Wu or Liu Bei leading Shu Han. Players start the game from asymmetrical positions, reflecting the manpower advantages Wei enjoyed in the early part of the period. The weaker states of Wu and Shu protect themselves by forming an alliance.As a feudal lord, you manage the different aspects of running a state whilst guarding your borders against both rebellious border tribes and external enemies. Managing each aspect well earns victory points for your state.But beware, for the balance of power shifts constantly during the game. Understand and take advantage of the power shifts, and you will fulfill your grand ambition of re-unifying China! 6d5b4406ea Title: Tabletop Simulator - Three Kingdoms ReduxGenre: Casual, Indie, RPG, Simulation, StrategyDeveloper:Berserk GamesRelease Date: 20 Jul, 2017 Tabletop Simulator - Three Kingdoms Redux Patch 8 Download In terms of DLC Quality this is up there with the Best you'll find anywhere in TTS. Lots of Scripting and automation with animatated element and sound effects to dress it up and above its real world counterpart. All the flat token elements have been replaced with 3D objects and the room its set in is themed to match the game which helps tie it all together.I think part of the reason it seems to get little love is the design mechanic that requires this to by a 3 player only game no more no less, which can be a bit of a turn off. But if you've 2 friends and a few dollars to spare I'd highly recomend the investment. Even if its just so you can see whats possible in TTS.. Set during a legendary civil war in Ancient China, Three Kingdoms Redux is a game for three players to go head to head (to head) in an epic struggle for domination of the Chinese Empire. You will have to rely on many different aspects of ruling your state, including developing infrastucture, maintaining (hopefully!) friendly diplomatic ties with the tribes living outside your kingdom, warfare, and bullying politely but firmly requesting fancy new titles from the Emperor.It is quite involved, and will take some time to play, but it's an incredibly rewarding experience to play through an asymmetrical yet finely balanced game such as this.The quality of this DLC is incredible with 3D models replacing some of the tokens from the physical game, as well as a very satisfying array of sounds when certain kinds of tokens are flipped over.And finally, if you are a fan of the Three Kingdoms era (be it through Dynasty Warriors, the classic novel, or anything in between), you must try this game. But it is in no way necessary to know anything about this to enjoy the game.If you're looking to try this game out or want to learn it, feel free to get in contact. I am always happy to get this to the (virtual) table and share in the experience!
