Nippon Zaibatsu Standard Edition US

A NIPPON új, upgradelt, bővített kiadása, a Standard Edition BEÉRKEZETT!

Control conglomerates of companies driving Japan’s economy!

Nippon: Zaibatsu is a new edition of Nippon, a fast-paced, area-majority economic game. Players control „zaibatsu”: massive conglomerates of interconnected companies driving Japan’s economy in the Industrial Revolution era.

During the game, players invest in new industries, build factories and railroads, and produce goods to saturate local markets and fulfill contracts — all to grow their influence and power and to become rulers of the new modernized country. Players are free to choose their playstyle and winning strategy: They choose what they score victory points for, control the game’s pace with income turns, and race each other to get the most beneficial factories, markets, and bonuses.

All the core mechanisms of the original Nippon are present, but the components, art, and design are upgraded, and many gameplay features are reworked to get the game in line with modern trends. Nippon: Zaibatsu features new resource types, ships are heavily revised with new Iwakura mission rules, factories are much more variable, consolidation turns provide players with new rewards, and much more. Also, the game now has an automa-driven solo mode.

 Gameplay Highlights:
• Timing is key: race other players to get the most beneficial factories, secure markets, and claim bonuses.
•  Expand your business rapidly or invest heavily to secure late-game dominance: every strategy is viable.
•  Control the pace of the game by strategically picking workers and timing your income rounds.
•  Play against a ruthless Automa that does not change the gameplay. It requires little upkeep but can give odds even to an experienced player. 

How to Win:
Players gain victory points in two distinctive but interconnected ways. Three times during the game, they score points for supplying local markets with goods produced in their factories and winning area majority. At the end of the game, they also gain points for the tracks on their boards that they’ve chosen during the game.
