Full publisher description

China - The Embassies is an expansion for China that adds another scoring option to the game. On their turn, when players have the option of placing two pieces, players may place an embassy along with a house which will score points at the end of the game. The Embassies are distributed through the BGG store and are unlike many other small expansions for China that were print and play; it is a thick cardboard punch sheet that matches the professionally printed quality of the base game.
