Description
This game covers the last battle around Meiji-Ishin.
One of the important Bakumatsu people, Takamori Saigoh decided to make a revolt in his home area, Satsuma (Kagoshima) in 1877 against his old friends and partners inside Meiji government.
The map covers the whole Kyushu island and uses point to point system.
The game has only 48 counters. This is a small second game, but players can focus the important strategic decisions.
The victory is basically determined by Saigoh's end.
Historically he killed himself in the middle of his losing battle.
But, in this game, if Saigoh player cleverly play the game, there's a chance of bloody stalemate which means that he can propose some of his desire to the government for this revolt.
