Dai-Senryaku

Dai-Senryaku is a collectible card game released in December 2001 by System Soft Alpha, the Japanese developer best known for its long-running Daisenryaku series of hex-based military strategy video games. The card game appears to be a direct tie-in product for that franchise, transposing the series' themes of large-scale modern warfare and tactical maneuvering into a card format. System Soft Alpha had been publishing Daisenryaku titles on PC and console platforms since the 1980s, making this 2001 CCG a late-era extension of an already established brand. The game was released exclusively in Japan and carried no credited language text, suggesting it was aimed entirely at the domestic market. Documentation of this card game is extremely thin outside of collector databases, and no detailed record of its card count, set structure, or rule system has survived in readily accessible online sources. Its existence as a CCG tie-in to a strategy video game franchise rather than a manga or anime property sets it apart from most of its Japanese contemporaries.
