This game takes you back in time to war-torn, 15th-Century feudal Japan. You begin the game as a poor young peasant with a great ambition. Follow the dice and Ninja cards to your destiny as you move your game piece around the board. You rise (or fall) in rank as you stop at castles and fight grapples, duels or assassination attempts against the other players, who can be your allies or foes at any moment. The first player to attain the rank of Shogun and reach (with the exact role of dice) the golden temple of the capital (Miyako, today s Kyoto) at the center of the board becomes the TaiShogun (Supreme Shogun) to win the game! —description from the designer
