Empire of the Sun(EotS) is Mark Herman’s third card driven design since he introduced the system to the hobby inWe The People.EotSis a strategic level look at the entire War in the Pacific from the attack on Pearl Harbor until the surrender of Japan.EotSis the first card driven game (CDG) to move the system closer to a classic hexagon wargame, while retaining all of the tension and uncertainty people have come to expect from a CDG. Players are cast in the role of MacArthur, Yamamoto, Nimitz, and Mountbatten as you direct your forces across the breadth of the globe from India to Hawaii and from Alaska to Australia. This is represented on a single map based on a 1942 equal area projection of the entire theater of conflict.
