Japan, 1605 - Hidetada Tokugawa has succeeded his father as the new Shogun, ruling from the great city of Edo, (now Tokyo). All the most powerful families in Edo are trying to curry favor with the new Shogun and you must ensure that your clan will prove indispensable to him. Work from the shadows to acquire information about rival clans, kidnap those who might oppose your ascendancy and assassinate those who prove too great a threat. Beware, only your cunning will prevent your adversaries from doing the same to you. Find glory and honor in the eyes of this new Shogun-or failing that, end his rule of him by any means necessary. Selected by Dice Tower host Tom Vasel as one of the Top 10 Worker Placement games, Yedo is an award-winning title from the designers of Kill Shakespeare: The Board Game!
