We Must Tell the Emperor: Expansion Kit

About this expansion

We Must Tell the Emperor: Expansion Kit is a solitaire expansion for one player, designed for approximately 60 minutes of play. It enriches the base game’s narrative with new scenarios, additional events, and options that can carry the war to its full and brutal conclusion.

This kit places an increased focus on China, introduces the Soviets, and explores Allied invasion plans for Japan. Players can also choose to use the four-card End War, or “Atomic,” mini-deck to extend the game’s story through its final stage.

The expansion adds content while remaining closely tied to the original game. It is not a standalone game; a copy of We Must Tell the Emperor is required for play.

• Several new scenarios
• 16 additional Event cards
• 6 new 3/4-inch square game pieces
• A four-card End War (“Atomic”) mini-deck
• Rules sheet and scenario sheet

With its added historical focus and optional endgame material, the We Must Tell the Emperor Expansion Kit gives the original solitaire experience more ways to develop its wartime narrative. It is suitable for players who want additional challenges and more flavor from the base game.

Released in 2011, the expansion is also part of the Japanese edition, which combines We Must Tell the Emperor and this expansion kit in one product.
