Unify Japan in a battle where loyalty shatters without warning
Vibe's take
Tense, elegant, atmospheric, deceptive
Who it's for
Two-player wargame fans who appreciate elegant design. One of the most accessible entry points into serious historical wargaming.

Not for players who dislike hidden information or need more than 2 players. Expect 3+ hours per session.
About this game
Elegant two-player block wargame set during the 1600 Battle of Sekigahara. Hidden blocks create fog of war as players maneuver armies across Japan, but loyalty is uncertain — cards determine whether units actually fight or defect mid-battle.
