New project: Rise of the Samurai
Rise of the Samurai
The shogun is dying and 4 prominent clan leaders must vie for power to see who will become the next leader of Japan.
A medium-weight worker placement 4x game with innovative action selection. Place your action peg on 1 of 6 actions. All players get to take the actions, but you get a bonus. Your peg blocks you from taking the same action again, but other players can bump your peg off returning it to you. Score on 4 different tracks for Might, Influence, Wealth, and Honor. The highest combined score wins.
Explore by placing a tile connected to your domain. Place a worker on the tile to control it, and take the work action to acquire resources in future turns. Every 4th turn during the harvest all tiles that produce resources acquire resource tokens that stay on the game board for players to explore and collect.
Travel to mountain shrines to train your retainers into elite samurai that have double movement and double strength in combat. Fight adjacent players to score honor points using deterministic combat. All retainers adjacent to the combat participate contributing their strength to your total. Draw a the top card from the conflict deck which will specify the 4 possible terrain types and any modifiers for the attacker or defender. Whoever has the higher might total wins.
Use resources to build construction projects to be placed from your player board including ships, shrines, and camps. Upgrade tiles with the build symbol into villages, towns, and even fortresses.
