Year 1600. Feudal Japan. The country is divided in two. The nobles from the western part support Ishida Mitsunari: a champion of traditions and guardian of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's son, the legendary unifier of Japan. In the east, Tokugawa Ieyasu is gaining power: an ambitious military leader who quickly became one of the richest and most influential people in Japan.
A decisive battle is about to take place that will determine the outcome of the confrontation. A large-scale military campaign is coming, with the fate of all Japan hanging in the balance...
"Sekigahara" is one of the most popular military board games, where two players will measure their tactical and strategic skills. The goal of the player is to defeat the enemy commander to secure their right to power. The game features a "fog of war" mechanic: all troops in "Sekigahara" are represented by blocks and are arranged in such a way that only the player controlling them knows where each combat unit is located. The opponent can only guess the approximate size of the opponent's forces, which allows for incredible room for planning and bluffing. To win, players will need to use all their military expertise: effectively maneuvering troops and assessing the situation, forming the most efficient armies, and even tempting enemy vassals to their side!
