About this game

The board has a map covering the Yellow Sea and adjoining territory, and is focused on the Japanese siege of Russian-held Port Arthur. The sea area is covered with an irregular network of dots and points. The game pre-dates the end of the Russo-Japanese War, since the site of the decisive battle at Tsushima is just off the south-east edge of the map.
