Tsushima (1989)

About this game

Tsushima is a tactical naval game simulating the battles that were fought in the Sea of Japan in 1905, during the Russo-Japanese War. Counters represent individual capital ships with destroyer and torpedo boat flotillas. Hexes represent 1000 meters and each turn represents 7.5 minutes of real time. A number of scenarios are provided, each with its own victory conditions.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 2.6/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
