Description
In Shogun, you'll take on the role of a powerful Daimyo, vying for control of Japan's provinces during the Warring States Period. With 10 possible actions at your disposal, you'll need to strategically decide which to play out and where, as you develop your kingdom and score points. The game's unique Cube Tower adds an element of unpredictability, as cubes representing troops are thrown in together to determine the outcome of battles. As you conquer provinces, build temples, theaters, and castles, and accumulate points, you'll be one step closer to becoming the ultimate Shogun. With its engaging gameplay and international edition language-independent components, Shogun is accessible to players from around the world. Designed by Dirk Henn, this 2006 game is a must-play for fans of economic, medieval, and territory-building games, offering 90-120 minutes of thrilling competition for 3-5 players.
