Features
Theme and storyline
It’s the second decade of the third millennium. The Indo-Pacific has become the core of the global economy, fueling the unprecedented growth of China, positioning it as a rival to the United States. In response, the USA and its allies have announced the AUKUS security pact to contain the expansion of China, which aims to displace the US as the world’s pre-eminent power. Finding itself increasingly isolated, China has strengthened its alliance with Russia, united by their determination to create a new world order. The board is set, the pieces are moving. It’s your turn to shape the outcome of the great conflict of our time.
We have put considerable effort into ensuring geographical and military accuracy, in proportion to the game’s level of abstraction.

Tester testimonials
I was an Axis & Allies fan but this became my faovurite strategy game I ever played. This is just sheer joy.
It’s a ton of fun and very thematic. I’m not a fan of wargames but I can’t get enough of AUKUS & CHINA. The unit special abilities is like deck building on steroids.
It’s fun, it’s easy to learn, it’s fast paced and you’re always doing something despite it’s long overall playing time.
