Read the full game description

In 1592, Japanese Taikou (??) Toyotomi Hideyoshi showed his great ambition to conquer China (Ming Dynasty). His proposal to Korea (Joseon Dynasty) to march through their territory was denied, and there began The Imjin War. In Far East War 1592, players are divided into Japan and China/Korea factions, with each side trying to conquer the target provinces of their rivals. Players alternate to move around the action roundel to perform different actions such as recruit forces, assign generals, march armies, initiate battles, etc. With careful planning on the action roundel, tactical movement and assignment of troops and generals, and a bit luck in dice roll during battles, players should revive the vivid history in the Far East War. ?1592???????????????????????????????????????20??????????????????????????????????????????????6???????????/????????????????????????????? ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
