Next year, this classic strategy will return with a stunning Anniversary Edition. Exciting new features, enhanced gameplay, upgraded components, and many more!
Together with the designers Nuno Bizarro Sentieiro and Paulo Soledade, we’re celebrating Nippon’s tenth anniversary with a new edition, Nippon: Zaibatsu. All the core mechanisms of the original Nippon are still there, but many gameplay features are reworked (significantly in some cases) to get the game in line with modern trends. And the game now has an automa-driven solo mode.
During the Kickstarter campaign, the retail version of the game will be available along with a limited Emperor’s Edition that features deluxe components and additional game content. At this point, the game will be printed in English only, but we’ll be happy to work with partners from other countries and hope to collaborate and see the game published in other languages too.
New information about the project will gradually be revealed at the Kickstarter pre-launch page. By following the project now, you’ll be among the first to get new information on the campaign and secure your chance to back the limited Emperor’s Edition with deluxe components and extra content.
About Nippon
Nippon is a classic Eurogame set during the Meiji era of Japan’s industrial revolution. Each player takes control of a zaibatsu – a powerful conglomerate that rises to dominate the Japanese economy. As you grow your zaibatsu, you’ll increase your influence, striving for control and supremacy in this era of rapid industrialization.
The game has gained worldwide recognition thanks to its wide variety of strategies and unusual mechanisms. It is still in the TOP-500 boardgamegeek.com rating, and in TOP-300 strategy games.
