Catalogue information
A laying game where pieces are placed on the board every turn with the aim of earning points. The game board represents the islands of Japan. At the start the cities are filled with Helmets, Buddhas and Rice fields. Each player receives 20 chips with numbers and symbols. The symbols correspond to the figures in the cities. Some symbols are neutral and can refer to any figure. By placing tokens, the players influence the cities. As soon as a city is completely surrounded by tokens, the players who have the most influence on the figures present take possession of them. But the aim of the game is not to capture as many figures as possible. No, that is too simple for Reiner Knizia. To win, you must first have a majority in one of the three domains. The number of conquered pawns in the other two categories determines your victory points (a system we know from Euphrat & Tigris). Samurai plays smoothly and is a very attractive game (also because of its implementation) for tactically minded players. The chips give you more options than you might first think. You get the feeling that you are closely involved in the game play. The game is beautifully executed with 39 game pieces of finely cut and in chic black plexiglass. The game board consists of several pieces and represents the four Japanese main islands. Age: from 6 years old Content: - 1 four-part game board - 13 Plexiglass helmets - 13 plexiglass Buddhas - 13 Plexiglass rice fields - 80 chips with symbols - 4 Japanese game screens - rule book
