Legend of the Five Rings: The Card Game

Players take control of rival samurai clans in a setting of courtly intrigue and supernatural threats. Each player builds a deck from a fixed pool of cards and deploys characters, tactics, and holdings to pursue military battles and political conflicts across alternating phases. Honor, duty, and clan identity influence deck construction and in-game decisions as players bid, assign defenders and attackers, and resolve conflicts that affect both immediate resources and long-term standing.
