“Played this recently. Had a lot of fun. This game has me interested in the subject of “Feudal Japan”. It is my first game in that regard, so I can’t compare it to others. It is area movement (not hexes) and it worked well. I only played the Nagashino Battle so far, and It seemed to be very balanced. I can see that there are a few ways to play this battle out, so that’s good for replay ability. The Battle of Shizugatake is on the other side of the map. Very solitaire friendly two handed style. There are some rules that needed clarification, and the designer is active on the forums answering questions. It is a beautiful looking game. Great counter and map artwork. The Box art is stunning.

I can’t wait for the rest of the games in the series.”
