Description

In Kenjin, a game of strategy and deception, 2 to 4 players compete to defend their territory and outmaneuver their opponents. This quick and subtle card game, designed by Nicolas Sato and published in 2015, is easy to learn but challenging to master. Players share battlefields with their neighbors, each worth a certain number of points, and must use their cards wisely to emerge victorious. With a hand of thirteen cards, including peasants, thugs, and lords, players must balance bluffing and tactics to win the battlefields. The game is won by the player with the most victory points, earned by having the highest sum of card values on each battlefield. The game's unique mechanics, including secret unit deployment and area majority influence, make for a thrilling 30-minute playtime. Will you outwit your opponents and claim victory, or will they outmaneuver you and take the win?
