An even dozen on May 15 at the UNO Park Community Center for an evening of tile laying games.
T&E has four leader/tile colors, Huang has five (one color is wild points)
T&E has two-colored permanent monuments that consume tiles to build (makes a state weaker) while Huang has moveable single-color pagodas.
Huang has a bit more complex leader powers on and off the board and a bit more complex tile laying effects.
Wars are very much different. In T&E, all conflicting leader-with-tiles colors in two warring states fight and lots of different-colored tiles can be lost for large point swings. In Huang, conflicting leaders in two or more conflicting states fight, but only with red tiles, and all players may contribute red tiles from their hands to affect the outcome. Red tiles are removed, but there’s little points earned, it’s more about controlling pagodas/areas.
Huang can feel like a more modern, lighter, nicer game with the moving pagodas and more special tiles/leader powers, but rules are more complex. T&E is generally considered more brutal and ruleswise simpler.
