Description
Small Samurai Empires is a strategic board game where 2 to 4 players compete to control Japan with their armies of Samurai. The game is divided into 3 Eras, each consisting of 2 rounds, and players take turns placing order tokens to recruit Samurai, move armies, build castles, and conquer provinces. The tokens are placed facedown and then revealed and resolved one by one, adding a layer of suspense and strategy to the game. As players battle for control, they score points based on the regions they dominate, with the values of these regions changing over time. The game requires a mix of planning and adaptability, as players must balance short-term goals with long-term strategies. With its unique blend of action programming and area control, Small Samurai Empires offers a fun and challenging experience that will keep you engaged for 45 to 90 minutes, making it a great addition to any board game collection.
