Description:

The Thousand Clans is a game under the basic rules of Time for Treason,
but with greater emphasis on strategy and with a different time
management.

It's a turn based game, where players play the role of dukes or religious
leaders and must attend the needs of their people, as well as their own
thirst for power.

There's a total of 17 players, all of which can be constantly in
communication with each other, which gives a very solid base for
role-play.
Diplomacy and good strategy is vital for a successful playing.

The rules are very simple, though understanding the mechanics of the
economics system, in order to get the duchy steadily going, takes some
time. The game already has a great group of players that will certainly
welcome and help you with this.

The game is based on the internet website stated above but also uses an
YahooGroup to work better. It's the Time4Treason@yahoogroups.com.
