Shaolin is the world's first board game to explore the legacy of the legendary Wu-Tang Clan.
In Shaolin, you are a new student who is ready to train at the Shaolin Temple. You earn "cream"—a tangible currency symbolizing respect and skill—by correctly answering Wu-Tang Clan trivia questions. Cream enables you to master up to five Fighting Styles. But no student trains in solitude—you will engage in duels against fellow students where Fighting Styles can be won or lost.
Shaolin features the calligraphy artwork of Shifu Shi Yan Ming - celebrity kung fu master and founder of the U.S.A. Shaolin Temple.
Once you are confident in your mastery, you will put your skills to the test against one of the Temple's Five Masters. If you are victorious, you will then face the Abbot's final challenge to determine if you are worthy of creating the 36th Chamber.
