Nippon: Zaibatsu is already on its way to our US warehouse. Once the Kickstarter fulfillment is over, the game will be available for everyone. Preorder the game today to secure your copy!

The preorder is open for the U.S. only, and we offer free shipping for all orders!

The game will be sent your way after all the Kickstarter backers’ orders are shipped, and we expect the game to be dispatched sometime in March, barring any unexpected delays. There’s no exact date just yet, as our primary goal will be to deliver the games to our backers first.

Needless to say, you will still receive your game before the game is widely available in retail (however, some games might be available from retailers who also supported us on Kickstarter and ordered them during the crowdfunding campaign).

Nippon: Zaibatsu is a fast-paced, highly competitive area-majority worker-placement game where actions can’t be blocked. It is set in a Meiji-era Japan, when rapid industrialization was transforming the life of the entire country.

In 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.

Nippon: Zaibatsu is an enhanced and reimagined anniversary edition of Nippon (2015), which was well-acclaimed and popular around the world.

Emperor’s Edition is the deluxe version of the game with all additional content.
• Twice as many factories: double-sided factories open up many new strategies and ensure variability and replayability.
• Beautiful heat-printed wooden resources and tokens improve the immersion and are pleasant to touch and play with.
• The Common Goals module provides players with additional rewards for game achievements.
• Multipart plastic organizer with lids allows for convenient storage and quick and easy setup.
