Enter the cultural heart of Ming-dynasty Jiangnan. Players take the roles of literati artists and artisans who travel for inspiration, develop their studios, create great works, and influence the tastes that determine prestige. Worker placement, action-tile bag building, and area influence combine into a rich strategic puzzle in which players may follow the latest trends—or try to create them.

This new 2026 Compact Edition retains all Chapter content in a medium size box, while refreshed board UI and a substantially revised rulebook make the layered chapter content mechanics more approachable for new players.
