Description

In 7 Ronin, two players engage in a battle of wits and strategy, with one controlling a group of sneaky ninja and the other defending a village with seven masterless samurai. The game is easy to learn, but don't let that fool you - it's full of depth and excitement. With simultaneous action selection and secret unit deployment, each turn is a thrill as players reveal their moves and resolve combat. The ronin player must use their unique special abilities to hold off the ninja and survive eight rounds, while the ninja player aims to occupy five of the village's ten areas. Each area has its own special ability that the ninja can use once they've taken control, adding an extra layer of strategy to the game. With playtime lasting between 15 to 30 minutes, 7 Ronin is a quick and intense medieval-themed game that's perfect for a fun and challenging competition between two players.
