Wandering Characters
Game Setup
Place up to 4 Characters on the board at the beginning of the game. Each one must be placed on an action space in one of the 4 areas at the corners of the board (Academy, Daimyo Houses, Market, Shogun's Palace). To determine where, shuffle the Character tiles and reveal one of them for each area. Keep the tiles near the board as a quick reference for the Characters' effects.
PLEASE NOTE: The Character placed in the Daimyo Houses area must be placed on the Sword tile with the lowest number.
General Rule for the Wandering Characters
When you place a Worker or a Monk in a space with a Character, move that Character to another space on the board (of your choice) and then immediately apply its effect. Choose carefully where you place it, because you might benefit the next player going after your turn, and they can use the Wandering Character just like you did!
IMPORTANT: When you move a Character, you may move them to any empty space, according to the number of players, in any game area. This means that you may place a Character in an area where there are already other Characters (on other spaces). When a player places a Worker or Monk in an area with more than one Character, they may decide which one to activate by placing their piece in that Character's space. They may also decide not to activate any Character and place their Worker or Monk in an empty space, if available.
Character Effects
The Unsuisō (Wandering Monk)
The Unsuisō (Wandering Monk) comes with a set of 4 Bowl tiles. Give one of them to each player. When you encounter him, you can decide to offer him 1 Coin by placing it on the Bowl tile in your game area. At the end of each round, score as many Points as the number of Coins in your Bowl.
