Empire of the Sun (2nd Edition) is Mark Herman's award-winning card-driven design that covers the Pacific Theater of Operations in World War II. This historical simulation covers the action from Pearl Harbor until the surrender of Japan. Players are cast in the role of MacArthur, Nimitz, and Yamamoto as you direct your forces across the breadth of the globe from India to Hawaii and from Alaska to Australia. This is represented on the single map based on a 1942 equal area projection of the entire theater of conflict.
