Board Game - Portrait of the Emperor

Every year, the Emperor strolls through the garden, and artists do their best to capture this event on their canvases. You need to get as close to the Emperor as possible and choose the right angle, but the competition is... very high. Bumping into other artists has become a common occurrence, but colliding with the Emperor is an awful indiscretion. Only the most skillful, cunning, and nimble artist will be able to paint the best portrait and earn the monarch's favor. The others will leave empty-handed.
You are an artist, and your goal is to be closest to the Emperor at the moment when he stops to admire the blooming cherry blossoms. The luckiest ones are rewarded by the Emperor with favor tokens: the player with the most tokens at the end of the game will be the winner. However, you need to be careful not to disturb the ruler. Each round, players simultaneously choose one card that indicates how the Emperor and the artists will move. These cards also provide the opportunity to disrupt opponents' plans. Be careful and do not rush: the Emperor may slow down to inspect the surroundings or even walk back a little.
