Take control of Japan’s industrial future in Nippon: Zaibatsu, a fast-paced area-majority economic strategy game. In this modern reimagining of the classic *Nippon*, you helm a powerful zaibatsu; a network of factories, trade routes, research arms, and influence that shapes the nation’s growth during a period of industrial expansion.

Through smart timing, worker placement, and influence plays, you’ll invest in factories, ship goods, dominate markets, and strategically consolidate your empire to outmaneuver rivals.
