If you crave card game action which puts you in the shoes of a feudal Japanese lord before the unification, then you should be itching to play the new edition of Tenka from Victory Point Games. The premium edition ups the ante from the first release with better card stock and graphics. Tenka is for three to four players and game time should run about 45 minutes. You can get your hands on the new and improved Tenka for $22.95.
From Victory Point Games:
In Tenka, by designer Scott Muldoon, each player takes the role of a local baron in the chaos of medieval Japan. The Emperor is powerless and the office of his sworn protector, the Shogun, is an empty shell. The realm is in turmoil as rival Daimyos struggle for control.
Three to four players compete in this fast-playing card game of consolidation and conquest, where each turn and every card play is a decision whether to PLACE a card in your court for a modest but long-lasting effect, or to PITCH a card for a stronger but single use.
Nobunaga realized his ambition and united almost a third of Japan under his rule; only one player can seize enough Provinces, or have all three Regalia, to control the realm. Play Tenka to find out if it will be you!
