Original Game
Navia Dratp is a collectible miniatures strategy board game created by Bandai, designed by Koichi Yamazaki. Originally released in 2004.
Board & Piece Art
The board graphics and non-compact piece images are from the Virtual Navia Dratp (VND) module for the VASSAL game engine. The VND module was created by Pascal Ludowissy (March 2006) and is available from the VASSAL module library.
“The creation of this 'virtual' adaptation, which was sometimes quite a challenge for a non-coder like me, shows just how strong the appeal of this great game is.”
Pascal kindly gave his blessing to use these assets in this project. Thank you, Pascal!
