Place each Management Board (long) next to the corresponding Area Board. Example: The Port A Order Form Board is placed next to the Port A Area Board.
Shuffle all the Building Site cards face-down and place 1 Building Site card face-up on each Area Board on the space stipulated. The remaining Building Site cards will not be used in the game and should be returned back to the box.
Shuffle all the 5-Power tokens face-down and place 1 face-up on each Area Board on the 5-space on each Area Board. The remaining 5-Power tokens will not be used in the game and should be returned back to the box.
Place the Victory Point track in the playing area.
Place the following components near the Area Boards: 1-Yen tokens, 3-Yen tokens, Copper tokens, Raw Silk tokens, Tea tokens, Seafood tokens, Imported Goods tokens, Foreign Mercenary tokens (place all of them face-up), Station token, and 100-Point tokens.
The player who most recently visited Yokohama receives the Start Player Card and becomes the starting player. If this method does not work in determining a starting player, use any preferred method in choosing a starting player. Note: The Start Player Card does not switch possession during the duration of the game.
Each player chooses a colour and receives the following components in their colour:

- 1 President pawn (in the player's hand)
- 20 Assistant pawns (place 8 in the player's hand and place the remaining 12 on top of the Warehouse tile)
- 1 scoring disc (to be placed on the 0 space of the Victory Point track)
- 8 Shophouse tokens (place 2 in the player's hand and place the remaining 6 on top of the Warehouse tile)
- 4 Trading House tokens (place all 4 on top of the Warehouse tile)
- 1 Copper token, 1 Raw Silk token, 1 Tea token, 1 Seafood token
- Money (the starting player begins with 3 Yen, and the other players begin with 4 Yen)
Note: In this game, there is a distinction between the player's 'hand' and their 'warehouse'. Place items meant to be in the 'warehouse' on top of the Warehouse tile and keep items meant to be in the player's 'hand' separate from the Warehouse tile.

Players	Cards returned to box

From this deck, draw and place Order cards face up in each space of Port A (and B) Order Form Board until all spaces on both Port A (and B) Order Form Board are filled. Each player now draws two Order cards from the remaining deck. In secret, each player must choose 1 Order card to keep and return the other card to the box.

The setup of the game is now complete!

General Rules

The following rules apply throughout the game:

In this game, Trade Goods (Copper, Raw Silk, Tea, Seafood), Imported Goods and Money are not limited by the number of components. Please use a suitable substitute if you run out.
Money can be made into change at any time.
All information is public except for Order cards in the possession of players. Place components such that all players may easily see them.
Each player may have a maximum of 3 Order cards in their hand. Players may not discard any Order cards.
There is no limit to the number of Technology cards in each player's hand. However, players may only own 1 card of the same name.

Flow of the Game

The game progresses in turns clockwise from the start player. Each player takes a turn until the End of the Game conditions are met. When the End of the Game conditions are met, there is one more game turn, and a final score calculation is tallied to determine the winner. For the End of the Game conditions, please refer to the section 'End of Game Conditions'.

Flow of a Turn

On a player's turn, they do the following three phases in order. At the end of their turn, play progresses clockwise to the next player.

A. Additional Action phase (first half)
B. Main Action phase
1. Placement step
2. Movement step
3. Area Action step
4. 5-Power bonus step (Optional)
5. Shophouse and Trading House Construction step (Optional)
6. Recovery step
C. Additional Action Phase (second half)

The Additional Action phases in A (first half) and C (second half) involve the same process. The Main Action phase (B) is described first below, and the Additional Action phases thereafter.

B. Main Action Phase

The Main Action phase is done in order from top to bottom:

Placement step
Movement step
Area Action step
5-Power bonus step (Optional)
Shophouse and Trading House Construction step (Optional)
Recovery step

Steps 1 to 3 and 6 are compulsory, and Steps 4 and 5 can be omitted if the player chooses. An exception to this rule is that if the player was not able to carry out Step 2, they may not be able to carry out Steps 3-6.

1. Placement step

The player may choose 1 of the 2 following options:

a) Place 1 Assistant pawn into 3 different areas: Choose 3 different areas, and place Assistant pawns from their hand to the areas one by one.

b) Place 2 Assistant pawns into the same area: Select 1 area, and place two Assistant pawns from their hand to the area.

Regardless of whether the player chooses a) or b), placement of Assistant pawns are subject to the following Placement rules:

Placement rules:

If there is a President pawn in the area in which you place an Assistant pawn, you have to pay 1 Yen for each Assistant pawn you place to the player owning the President pawn. If there is more than one President pawn in the area, you have to pay 1 Yen to each of the owning players. If you have insufficient money, you may not place an Assistant pawn in the area.
You may not place an Assistant pawn in the Canal.
If you do not have enough Assistant pawns in hand to place, or if you choose not to, you do not need to place all 3 Assistant pawns. In other words, you may place 1, 2 or 3 Assistant pawns.
You may not place any Assistant pawns from the Warehouse tile or the Management boards.

2. Movement step

The player may choose 1 of the 2 following actions:

a) Move their President pawn

The movement method is different depending on whether the President pawn is in the player's hand or on an existing Area.

If the President pawn is in the player's hand, the player may place the President pawn in any Possible Action Area. A Possible Action Area is an Area in which both of the following conditions are satisfied:

The player has at least 1 Assistant pawn in that Area.
There are no other players' President pawns in the Area.

If the player's President pawn is already on an existing Area (i.e. not in the player's hand), you must move the President pawn step by step to your desired destination using the following Movement rules:

Movement rules:

The President pawn may move 1 step from its current Area to an adjacent Area. At least one of that player's Assistant pawns must be in the destination area. (Shophouses and Trading Houses do not act as Assistant pawns for this purpose. If you have Shophouses and/or Trading Houses in the Area but no Assistant pawns, you may not move to this Area.)
If the Area that the President pawn is moved into is a Possible Action Area, the player may choose to either stop their movement, or continue moving their President pawn. This may be carried out any number of times.
If the Area that the President pawn is moved into is not a Possible Action Area, i.e. there is one or more players' President pawns in this Area, the player may not stop their movement. They must immediately pay each other President pawn in the Area 1 Yen and continue their movement.
The President pawn may not return to the Area that it started in.

b) Return their President pawn to their hand

If this action is chosen, Steps 3-6 are skipped; proceed directly to Phase C (Additional Action Phase). Return your President pawn to your hand, and you may also return any Assistant pawns from any Area to your hand. Note: You may not return Assistant pawns placed on Management Boards.

3. Area Action step

In this step, the player carries out the action where their President pawn is located. However, if you utilized Foreign Mercenaries in the Additional Action phase, you may carry out an action in the specified area rather than in the area your President pawn is in.

At this time, the player calculates and determines the amount of Power the player possesses in the Area:

Token type	Power obtained
President pawn	1 Power
Assistant pawn	1 Power each
Shophouse token	1 Power
Trading House token	1 Power
Station token	1 Power

Use the table to tally the Power value. If the Power value tallies 6 or higher, it is still considered as a maximum value of 5. The Power value is used to carry out the action in the Area. For specific actions, refer to the section on Detailed Area Actions.

If there are any Trading Houses owned by other players in the Area in which the action is being carried out, the owner receives 1 Yen from the bank. Note: If your own Trading House is on the Area in which your action is being carried out, you do not receive money from the bank.

4. 5-Power bonus step (optional)

If, in Step 3 (Area Action Step), the player carried out an action of 5 Power, they may carry out this action. If the 5-Power token in the corresponding Area is still present, the player takes it and places it in front of them and resolves the effect. After resolving the effect, they turn the 5-Power token face-down, and keep it in their possession. The effects of 5-Power tokens are explained in detail in the section on 'Description of Powers'.

5. Shophouse and Trading House construction step (optional)

If, in Step 3 (Area Action Step), the player carried out an action of 4 or more Power, they may carry out this action. Choose one of the following two actions:

a) Build a Shophouse: Refer to the Building Site card on the Area in which the action was carried out in Step 3. The player may build a Shophouse only if they do not have a Shophouse already on the Building Site card. Place a Shophouse token from your hand onto an empty Shophouse space on the Building Site card. You may not build on a space that another player already has a Shophouse token on. Gain the benefits stated on the space that you built your Shophouse on.

b) Build a Trading House: Refer to the Building Site card on the Area in which the action was carried out in Step 3. The player may build a Trading House only if the Trading House space on the Building Site card is empty. Place a Trading House token from your hand onto the empty Trading House space. Gain the benefits stated on the space that you built your Trading House on.

6. Pawn Recovery step

Take all of the Assistant pawns from the Area in which you carried out Step 3 (Area Action Step) and return them all to your hand. Note: No matter how many Assistant pawns are on the Area, return ALL of them to your hand.

Additional Action Phase

In each Additional Action phase, you may do the following actions as many times as you like and in any order:

a) Use of Foreign Mercenaries (Once per turn)
b) Fulfilling an Achievement card
c) Fulfilling an Order card

For example, a player may carry out: c) fulfilling an Order card → a) Use of Foreign Mercenaries → c) fulfilling an Order card.

a) Use of Foreign Mercenaries (Once per turn)

You may only use Foreign Mercenaries once on your turn. For example, if you use this action in A. Additional Action Phase (first half), you may not use it in C. Additional Action Phase (second half).

Turn one of your Foreign Mercenary tokens face down and choose one Area. This Area has to meet the following 2 conditions: it has to contain at least 1 of your Assistant pawns AND your President pawn may not be in the Area.

It is possible to choose an Area that contains another player's President pawn.
If you choose an Area that contains another player's President pawn, you do not need to pay them any money.

If you carry out this action, you continue with the same steps of the main phase in order, i.e. 3. Area Action step, 4. 5-Power bonus step, 5. Shophouse and Trading House construction step, 6. Recovery step. Please refer to each step of the Main Phase for more information.

b) Fulfilling an Achievement card

If you have met the requirements written on an Achievement card, you may place an Assistant pawn from your hand to the card and gain the corresponding Victory Points. The first player who achieved the requirements score the leftmost points, while all later players score the rightmost points. Please refer to the 'Achievement cards' section for more detailed information. Note: Each player may only fulfill the same Achievement Card once in a game.

c) Fulfilling an Order card

Place an Order card from your hand face-up in front of you. Pay the corresponding Trade Goods. Afterwards, gain the corresponding reward as noted on the Order card. After fulfilling an Order card, check if new Country icons match in order to obtain Foreign Mercenary tokens. For more information on this, please refer to the next section on 'Matching Country icons'.

Matching Country icons

When you successfully complete an Order card, or when you obtain a Technology card, you will see Country icons (English, American, French, German, Dutch).

Every time you obtain a multiple of 2 (i.e. 2, 4, 6) of the same Country icon on completed Order cards or Technology cards, you receive a Foreign Mercenary token of that country. However, if there are none in the supply, you do not receive any.

End of Game Conditions

The game ends when any of the following conditions are met:

One or more of the players have built all 4 Trading Houses.
One or more of the players have built all 8 Shophouses.
After replenishing Order cards, the Order deck has run out and there is an empty space on the card area of the Port Order Form Board.
A number of Assistant pawns on the Church Management Board has been placed (2 Players: 4; 3 Players: 5; 4 Players: 6).
A number of Assistant pawns on the Customs Management Board has been placed (2 Players: 4; 3 Players: 5; 4 Players: 6).

Finish playing out the round ending with the player to the right of the Start player, then there is one final round for all players. Thus, all players will play an equal number of turns. After this, there is a final score calculation and the game ends.

Final Score Calculation

Calculate the final score in the following order:

Church bonus
Customs bonus
Technology bonus
Country bonus
Remainder Scoring

1. Church bonus

Each player tallies up the number of Assistant pawns on the Church Management board. The player with the highest number of Assistant pawns receives 6 Victory points, and the second highest receives 3 Victory points. In the case of a tie, the player who has the rightmost Assistant pawn breaks ties. If there is only 1 player on the Church Management board, that player earns 6 points and no other player receives points. If there are no players on the Church Management board, no players earn any points.

2. Customs bonus

Each player tallies up the number of Assistant pawns on the Customs Management board. The player with the highest number of Assistant pawns receives 8 Victory points, and the second highest receives 4 Victory points. In the case of a tie, the player who has the rightmost Assistant pawn breaks ties. If there is only 1 player on the Customs Management board, that player earns 8 points and no other player receives points. If there are no players on the Customs Management board, no players earn any points.

3. Technology bonus

Each player tallies the total Industry value on all of their Technology cards. The player with the highest total Industry value receives 10 Victory points, and the second highest receives 5 Victory points. In the case of a tie, the player who is the closest clockwise to the Start player breaks ties (The Start player himself is considered to be the closest). If there is only 1 player with Technology cards, that player earns 10 points and no other player receives points. If there are no players who own Technology cards, no players earn any points.

4. Country bonus

At this point, return all unfulfilled Order cards to the box. Each player now looks at the number of different Country icons they have in their possession from their Technology cards and completed Order cards and divides them into sets. 1 icon may only be used once per set. The following table shows how many bonus points a player receives:

Set	Victory points
A set of 5 different Country icons	12 Victory points
A set of 4 different Country icons	8 Victory points
A set of 3 different Country icons	4 Victory points
A set of 2 different Country icons	2 Victory points

5. Remainder Scoring

Below is the conversion rate for remaining tokens in the players' possession:

Unused Foreign Mercenary tokens: 1 Victory point each
Imported Goods tokens: 1 Victory point each
Every 2 Yen: 1 Victory point
Every 3 Trade Good tokens: 1 Victory point

Winning the Game
