Nippon
$60.00 SRP
Japan during the Meiji period - a closed, isolated, and feudal
country - decides to change into a modern westernized state. The Empire sends
emissaries to foreign nations, brings technicians and scholars from the west,
builds a network of railroads, and achieves an outstandingly fast industrial
revolution.
In Nippon, players control Zaibatsu and try to develop their web
of power by investing in new industries, improving their technological
knowledge, shipping goods to foreign countries or using them to satisfy local
needs, and growing their influence and power as they oversee the era of rapid
industrialization of Japan.
The foundations of the big Zaibatsu were the traditional silk
workshops, but soon the conglomerates diversified their influence and power,
building a complex structure of interconnected companies that made them giant
players in the world's new industrial era. Each player takes the reins of one
of these big corporations and tries to develop it in order to grow and achieve
power.
Nippon is a fast-paced economic game with challenging decisions,
set during an important time in Japanese history, and when a new great nation
is born.

SRP
In
Signorie, you will play the role of a Signore, The Lord of a renowned family of
Italian Renaissance, aiming to strengthen his influence and to build a powerful
dynasty by making strategic alliances with the six most prestigious Houses of
the time.
You
must choose wisely the destiny of your offspring, arranging strategic marriages
for the women of your family to other influential families, or appointing the
men to one of the three available careers (military, clerical, or political),
and then sending them to important diplomatic missions to the right city at the
right moment.
Twenty
dice in five colors are rolled at the beginning of each round. One at a time,
players choose one die from the common pool, place it on their player board,
and perform the corresponding action. The color of the chosen die determines
the possible actions, and the number on the die is a discount on the cost of
the action. Hiring helpers will make your future actions more powerful.
The
dice mechanism is easy and innovative and gives players simple, but
challenging, choices. The player that masters the art of pulling the right
strings to gain the most influence will be the winner!
