Overview

In Way of the Samurai you play the famous swordsman Miyamoto Musashi, to live epic battles. This is a solo card game with simple and fluid mechanics.

Way of the samurai offers strategy, risk taking, deck building and combinations.

A game lasts on average 20 minutes, but can vary between 1 and 30 minutes. The set-up is extremely fast and the game has a high replay value.

The game is offered in a compact box and easy to carry. The rules will be in English and French. There is no text on the cards.

A game takes place in several rounds. Each round allows you to make two attacks. Each attack is represented by playing a sequence of three action cards. Cards allow you to gain strength, technique or guard. It's up to you to establish a strategy for each attack. Will you attack your opponent, distract him or defend yourself ?

Ki tokens help deepen your strategy. By using them you'll develop skills that will make the difference.

Depending on your attacks you will have the opportunity to create combos to unlock special action cards.

There are several different opponents, as well as a competition mode. This one will propose you to try, like Miyamoto musashi, to defeat dozens of samurai during one memorable fight ...
