WAR LORDS OF JAPAN

Student armies amass stores of rice and conquer other provinces by completing a variety of activities, including writing, accounting, calligraphy, and art assignments. Success requires strategic thought, careful planning, and also luck, as fate cards present unexpected events. The simulation contains 35 eight-page student booklets and a 72-page teacher’s guide which includes setup directions, daily lesson plans, reproducible background essays and short tests, and a map of Japan. The entire simulation runs for ten class periods, but may be shortened.
