Overview
An isolated tea house is under attack. The hostess and her clients band together in its defence - peasant and samurai, ronin and priest forced into an unlikely alliance.
Hostess - elegant proprietor - don't underestimate her!. Ronin Marksman - crack shot with a musket. Clan Envoy - high-ranking samurai, able to summon reinforcements. Wise Old Man - with years of experience and local knowledge. Priest - kneels in prayer to inspire his allies. Ashigaru Deserter - hated by his former comrades. Watchman - searches out enemies in the darkness. Blacksmith - sharpens blades and hits things with hammers!
This set is slightly different to the previous expansions - you can certainly use them together as a complete, and very characterful force, but the individuals are also designed to be added into other forces.
Their abilities tend to help the friends around them. For example, the Blacksmith improves everyone's weapons while the Watchman can remove enemy Cautious markers, and of course helps in night battles!
Box contains 18 gaming cards for Test of Honour and 8 metal character miniatures plus bases.
