The Terracotta Army is a collection of terracotta sculptures depicting the armies of Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of China. It is a form of funerary art buried with the emperor in 210–209 BCE with the purpose of protecting the emperor in his afterlife.The figures, dating from approximately the late third century BCE, were discovered in 1974 by local farmers in Lintong County, outside Xi'an, Shaanxi, China. The figures vary in height according to their roles, the tallest being the generals. The figures include warriors, chariots and horses. Estimates from 2007 were that the three pits containing the Terracotta Army held more than 8,000 soldiers, 130 chariots with 520 horses, and 150 cavalry horses, the majority of which remained buried in the pits near Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum.Also, uh, end-of-round bonuses are cool and change incentives. 00:02:13 Splendor: Duel, Splendor00:03:01 It's a Wonderful World, Race for the Galaxy00:03:18 Skymines, Obsession00:03:47 Frosthaven00:05:54 Harvest, Empyreal: Spells & Steam, Argent: The Consortium00:08:28 FEATURE REVIEW Terracotta Army00:08:37 Origins: First Builders, Nemesis, Lords of Hellas00:09:31 Frostpunk00:10:21 Underwater Cities00:31:38 Bunny Kingdom00:38:09 Tekhenu00:39:07 Verdant00:39:25 FEATURE DISCUSSION End-of-Round Objectives00:43:28 Terra Mystica, Gaia Project, Terra Nova00:46:19 Barrage00:47:33 Wonderland's War00:50:32 THE CONTEST: Win Ark NovaJoin us in the conversation on discord: https://tinyurl.com/2wood4wheatAsk us a question at [email protected] us a review on Apple podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/two-wood-for-a-wheat/id1447901771Read Tony's blog: https://boardgamegeek.com/user/maxlongstreet/blogsThanks to God Street Wine for our intro and outro music: https://www.facebook.com/GodStreetWine/
