Description

In the middle of the 19th century, Japan finally realized how far behind the West it was in terms of economy, industry, and technology. The Meiji Restoration ushered in a rapid Industrial Revolution based on zaibatsu, conglomerates of closely related companies.

In Nippon: Zaibatsu, players manage conglomerates of companies called zaibatsu. They build and modernize factories, set up production and supply goods to local markets, fulfill contracts, develop mining and technology, build railroads, and recruit foreign experts – all to catch up with Western countries and prove to the Emperor that their zaibatsu is the most worthy. Lead the Industrial Revolution and bring Japan to prosperity!
