Lone Wolf and Cub Game (1989)

About this game

From the box: "The serenity and beauty of Japanese culture combines with the violent struggle of life and honor in the Lone Wolf & Cub boardgame based on the comics and graphic novels published by First Publishing. 1 or 2 players take the roles of Itto Ogami (Lone Wolf) and his son Daigoro (Cub) and go in search of vengeance, honor, and Mu, the highly desired trait of enlightenment. This beautifully illustrated game features a full-color game board depicting the eastern area of Honshu, Japan, and a striking cover by Matt Wagner. Lone Wolf and Cub is an exciting, challenging game for both game enthusiasts and collectors alike."

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 2. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 1.8/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
