Sword of the Samurai
The Shogun’s control is slipping as bandits and barbarian invaders threaten Hachiman after the theft of the Dai-Katana, his great sword. As the Shogun’s young samurai champion, players seek the sword in the Pit of Demons, confronting Ikiru, the Master of Shadows. Using two dice, a pencil and an eraser, players choose warrior skills, decide which routes to take, and determine which dangers and monsters to face. Honour points are gained or lost throughout the mission.
