The Pacific War: From Pearl Harbor to the Philippines is a two-player strategic wargame that recreates the naval and air conflict across the Pacific during World War II. Covering the period from December 1941 to June 1944, the game places players in command of either the Imperial Japanese forces or the Allied powers, fighting for control of key territories and sea routes.
Using a card-driven system, players must carefully manage resources, plan operations, and coordinate naval and air forces to gain the upper hand. Early in the war, Japanese forces hold the advantage, while the Allies gradually build strength as the campaign progresses.
This game includes:
One full-colour 36" x 27" map
Over 200 large counters across 3 counter sheets
40+ page full-colour rulebook
Scenario and module rules with examples of play
Three 11" x 17" player aid cards
Four 8.5" x 11" player aid cards
Deck of resource cards
Two six-sided dice (D6)
Heavy-duty game box
Key features:
Strategic naval and air warfare across the Pacific Theatre
Card-driven resource system influencing operations and decisions
Historically inspired scenarios with high replayability
Balance of power shifts between Japanese and Allied forces
Accessible rules with meaningful strategic depth
About the game:
Players plan and execute operations using a limited hand of resource cards, deciding how best to deploy fleets, aircraft, and support assets. From carrier strikes to large-scale naval engagements, each decision can shape the course of the campaign.
The Japanese player begins with strong offensive capability, aiming to secure key positions and delay defeat, while the Allied player builds momentum over time, working to reclaim territory and turn the tide of war.
Control of ports, bases, and supply routes is critical, and success depends on balancing aggression with careful planning. With multiple strategic paths and changing conditions, The Pacific War offers a dynamic and engaging experience with every playthrough.

Players: 2
Playtime: 2–4 hours
Complexity: Low to medium (4/10)
