THIS IS AN EXPANSION FOR LEGEND OF THE FIVE RINGS: THE CARD GAME: This is not a standalone product. A copy of the Legend of the Five Rings: The Card Game Core Set is required to play.
A LIVING CARD GAME OF HONOR AND CONFLICT: Join the Great Clans, uphold the tenets of Bushidō, and fulfill your duty to your daimyō and the Emperor in a world shaped and changed by a dynamic, player-influenced story. During the game, you take on the leadership of one of the Great Clans which define Rokugani society, and you are cast into conflict against another clan.
STRATEGY GAME: Your conflicts will decide the future of Rokugan, whether you’re battling with a katana or with cutting words, but the samurai of your clan cannot remain by your side indefinitely—when their destinies are fulfilled, you must find new allies to continue your conflicts. Ultimately, it’s your choice whether you will fight with honor or use unsavory means, but in every game, it is your role to lead your clan to victory.
INTO THE FORBIDDEN CITY: Each of the seven Great Clans receives new cards along with a great assortment of cards focused on the Imperial City of Otosan Uchi. From neutral samurai sworn to the Imperial family, to Imperial magistrates from each of the Great Clans, to rewards for holding the Imperial Favor, this cycle draws you into the world of Otosan Uchi and the service of the Emperor.
NUMBER OF PLAYERS AND AVERAGE PLAYTIME: This immersive strategy card game for adults and teens is made for 2 players and is suitable for ages 14 and older. Average playtime is approximately 45 to 90 minutes.
