History

In August 2024 Mizo Games started a crowdfunding campaign eventually raising ~US$120,000.^[1] This was 4,000% more than their initial crowdfunding goal.^[2]

Gameplay

The game is set in the year 2045 and has a cyberpunk theme.^[3] Gameplay takes place over a ten-day period.^[4] The AFP calls the game a "zero-sum contest of military strategy." Players can choose characters representing different factions such as soldier, collaborator, and arms dealer.^[5]

Reception

The game was controversial in Taiwan where popular depictions of a potential military conflict with China have been taboo. Mizu Game's founder KJ Chang said "We can't predict the future, but if a conflict is unavoidable I hope this game gives people a chance to experience war on the tabletop before it reaches us."^[6]
