Published by Game Journal
This game recreates the turbulent 500 year period of Japanese history starting from the 12th century end of the Heian period to the beginning of the Edo period in the 17th century. Each player becomes a historical figure, controls their generals, and tries to rewrite the 20th century history books by having the most influence throughout time. This game, like the Avalon Hill "History of the World", is designed to be playable by 2-6 players, but the rules are written for a standard game of 5 players. Contains a map counters 96 cards (from the translation and BGG user's description)
