Wu Xing - The 5 elements
45 minutes
from 2 to 6 players
Professor Thomson, a History and Eastern Civilizations teacher at the University of Cambridge, has succeeded in capturing the spirits of Wu Xing, the Chinese philosophy according to which the order of things is governed by five elements: fire, water, earth, wood, and metal. He discovered that these spirits truly exist and has trapped them deep in the Xishuangbanna forest, in China's Yunnan province. Somehow, he managed to harness their powers and use them to destroy the forest, making room for a rubber plantation. These elements, however, contribute to harmony and balance only if kept in a specific order.
You are the forest's guardians and must investigate the professor's study, find the spirits, and reposition them in their constructive order before he returns from his 45-minute lecture.
