Description

Get ready to dive into the tumultuous world of 19th century China with Manchu: The Taiping Rebellion – 1852-1868, a strategic two-player wargame. Designed by Richard H. Berg and first published in 1988, this game drops you into the midst of a brutal conflict between the Taiping rebels and the Manchu government. With a playtime of 240 minutes, you'll have plenty of time to immerse yourself in the action. As the Taiping player, you'll start with a strong advantage in troops and leaders, but the Manchu player has the potential to gain strength as the game progresses. With the help of provincial forces, the Manchu government can fight back against the rebellion, but beware - over-reliance on these forces can lead to a loss of Imperial authority, and ultimately, the game. With its unique blend of dice rolling, hexagon grid, and simulation mechanics, Manchu offers a thrilling and challenging experience for fans of wargames and strategy.
