Sixteen Samurai (2017)

About this game

In this fast-action game of cards and dice, players face off against each other on the battlefield. Players assemble a clan of 16 Samurai, and then battle each other until only one clan remains. Samurai are related based on 4 abilities (Power, Speed, Armor, Karma), which determines how many dice they roll.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.3/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
