Rising Dragon is a near future, platoon-level, chit-draw driven, tactical boardgame based on the popular Armageddon War system. It uses a unique, stamped dice system of combat that gets gamers playing quickly.
With the United States turning inward in the wake of the catastrophic ‘Armageddon War’, China seizes the moment to assert its territorial claims, letting the world know that it is now the unchallenged power in the region. This sets the stage for a military showdown that spans East Asia, with Taiwan at the epicenter.
The Rising Dragon boardgame lets gamer's play with cutting-edge technologies, including robotic troops, AI-directed anti-tank swarms, hypersonic missiles, advanced amphibious operations, and good ole Main Battle Tanks, such as the China's Type-99, and infantry like America's 3rd Recon. Rising Dragon also features detailed maps that bring the battlegrounds of Taiwan to life. Scenarios include the Chinese invasion of Taiwan, where hypersonic missile systems like the PRC Heaven Sword devastate Taiwanese defenses, battles for airheads, unique skirmishes for objectives that neither side is sure of, and city fights where one side wants to protect the infrastructure for its use while the other side wants to protect the civilian population.
