Description
Nippon is a game of industrialization and economic growth, set in Japan during the Meiji period. Players take on the role of Zaibatsu, powerful conglomerates that shape the country's future. By investing in new industries, improving technological knowledge, and shipping goods, players aim to increase their influence and power. The game is a complex web of interconnected companies, where every action forges a path to new opportunities. As one of the big four Zaibatsu, you'll need to make careful decisions to outmaneuver your opponents and achieve the most influence over the Japanese islands. With a playtime of 60 to 120 minutes, Nippon is a challenging and fast-paced economic game that requires strategic thinking. Designed by Nuno Bizarro Sentieiro and Paulo Soledade, this 2015 game is perfect for 2 to 4 players looking for a game that combines area majority and variable phase order mechanics.
