Famicom Wars is a turn-based strategy game.
The player takes the role of the commander of military forces for either the Red Star or Blue Moon armies.
The goal of each battle map is to overcome the other side's forces, destroying all enemy units and capturing all enemy-held landmarks.
Each side of the battle takes their turn, moving units across the map.
The capture of cities will give that side extra funds which can be used to build new units at factories and shipyards.
Famicom Wars features 17 maps total to battle across.
About Nintendo Entertainment System
The Nintendo Entertainment System (1983 in Japan, 1985 in the West) revived the North American video game industry after the 1983 crash and established conventions — cartridges, licensing seals, save systems — that shaped the industry for decades. NES collecting is one of the most established retro markets: common titles remain cheap, but a well-known handful of low-print-run games (many from smaller third-party publishers) are among the most expensive video games in existence.
Gamevaro tracks Famicom Wars for Nintendo Entertainment System with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Famicom Wars to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NES release dates back to 1988.

Rarity & condition
