About Samurai by Reiner Knizia
Samurai by Reiner Knizia
Reiner Knizia's Samurai is a classic strategic board game that immerses players in feudal Japan, competing to gain influence over three vital elements of society: food, religion, and military. Players use hexagonal tiles to strategically claim control of cities and villages across the map, balancing their moves carefully to achieve dominance in one or more elements while maintaining an edge over their opponents.
