We would like to thank everyone who has supported Imjin War on Kickstarter. Here is an update on the project’s progress.
Playtesting is well underway and has identified a few key improvements. The map and counters, though attractive, need to be more readable: the font will be enlarged and simplified, the illustrations on the map zones (forests, mountains) will be toned down so place names stand out, and zone borders will be more clearly marked. These changes matter for both the look and the playability of the game.
The Gold & Steel system, refined over nine published titles in the series, provides a solid foundation. Our remaining work focuses on the naval rules and their integration with land operations. The scenarios will also go through several more rounds of testing to ensure each one is engaging for all players.
Nothing insurmountable, but it requires some additional development. Imjin War is scheduled for release in 2027.
