Description

Imagine yourself in feudal Japan, surrounded by samurai, warrior monks, and bandits, all vying for power and survival. Ronin, a skirmish wargame designed by Craig Woodfield, drops you into this intense world, where you'll choose a faction and build your forces to battle for dominance. With a range of characters to recruit, from loyal samurai retainers to masterless ronin and secretive ninja, you'll need to make tactical decisions quickly to outmaneuver your opponent. The game's easy-to-learn rules and fast-paced gameplay simulate the cut and thrust of hand-to-hand combat, immersing you in the era of war. As you play, you'll be able to customize your characters with a wide range of equipment and skills, using a full points system to create unique and powerful fighters. With scenarios and a campaign system, your characters will gain experience and develop over time, allowing you to tailor your strategy to your playstyle. Whether you're a fan of Akira Kurosawa films or just love the idea of battling for supremacy in 16th-century Japan, Ronin is the perfect game for you. With its rich setting and engaging gameplay, you'll be drawn into a world of war and strategy, where only the most skilled and cunning commanders will emerge victorious.
