Emperor of China (game)

Modern Conquest and War Games

Emperor of China is a 1972 wargame published by Dynamic Games that depicts the historical unification of China under a single imperial ruler. Players take command of competing forces vying for supremacy as regional states are absorbed into a unified empire, translating the historical process of conquest and consolidation into a strategic board game format. As an early 1970s wargame, it belongs to the wave of historical conflict simulations published in that period that took large-scale political unification, rather than a single battle, as their subject, giving players a strategic rather than tactical view of the campaign to bring China under one crown.
