Today’s Spotlight is Yellow & Yangtze, a digital adaptation of Reiner Knizia’s hit board game by Dire Wolf Digital.
This critically acclaimed board game has been faithfully recreated for Windows PC and mobile, also featuring online multiplayer. Players are tasked with establishing a dynasty during the Warring States era.
You strategically place tiles that represent soldiers, governors, merchants, artisans, and farmers on a hex-based map. This expands your influence, to become the dominate power in Ancient China. You can check out a trailer above.
Reiner Knizia Yellow & Yangtze is available on Windows PC, Mac (both via Steam), Android, and iOS for $14.99.

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!

- 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!
