Keep Up The Fire!: The Boxer Rebellion

A solitaire States of Siege game set during the 1900 Boxer Rebellion in Peking, where foreign legations are besieged by Chinese Boxers and Qing imperial forces. Players coordinate the international detachments defending the Legation Compound while commanding a Relief Column advancing inland from the port of Taku. The game is a race against time: the Compound must withstand relentless attacks while the Relief Column fights through hostile territory to break the siege. It can also be played cooperatively in teams. Each unit represents a Chinese or Legation unit, or one international gun.
