About the game

What is Yokohama Duel?

It is the beginning of the Meiji era. Once a sleepy fishing village, Yokohama has opened to foreign trade since the end of the Edo period and has now developed into one of Japan’s busiest trade centers. Goods such as copper and raw silk have gathered in Yokohama to be exported to foreign countries hungry for them. In addition, foreign technologies and cultural practices have integrated into the Japanese lifestyle as quickly as the modernization of the cityscape. In this stand-alone game, you and your opponent compete to dominate the market. Roam the streets, strategically manage your assistants, and build a successful business empire while enlisting the aid of foreign agents. Each district in Yokohama offers unique benefits; exploit them wisely to outplay your opponent. Achieve coveted goals, master new technology, and chart your path to victory. Yokohama Duel: A head-to-head battle for business supremacy awaits!
