Nippon: Zaibatsu (KS Emperor Deluxe Edition)

This is the KS Emperor Deluxe Edition and includes the following

• Nippon: Zaibatsu (EN) with all additional content, including deluxe wooden components, 30 extra Factories for experienced players, a Common Goals module,
• Free set of metal coins.

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.

Hire Workers to perform nine different actions. Colors of the Workers correspond to different Departments.

Factories produce various Goods and provide you with immediate bonuses or permanent effects and modifiers.

Supply local markets with the Goods your Factories produced to gain Influence in the regions and receive bonuses.

Invest in R&D to construct more advanced Factories. Modernize them and develop Mining to increase production.

Drive out competitors and secure your presence in the regions. Strengthen your advantage by building Railroads.

Construct Ships and organize diplomatic missions to upgrade your Departments and recruit foreign experts.

Consolidate to give your zaibatsu a fresh start and earn the Emperor’s favor. Wisely timed Consolidations maximize your benefits.
