"China: Mao's Legacy" is a political strategy game that follows the People's Republic of China from 1976 to 1985 in the turbulent period during and after the death of Mao Zedong. The game focuses on maintaining the country both economically and politically while preventing a non-peaceful transfer of power. Players are faced with numerous choices, such as whether to invade Vietnam, imprison the Gang of Four, integrate Hong Kong, interfere in various skirmishes, and restore relations with the USSR. All parameters of China can be controlled—its political system, economy, army, special services, family policies, doctrine of Freedoms, and much more.
