A digital adaptation of Reiner Knizia’s classic strategy board game set in feudal Japan. Command influence through clever tile placement and outmaneuver rivals to control the three powers shaping the islands. With elegant rules and deep tactics, every turn matters as you weigh tempo, positioning, and scarce resources to secure decisive majorities. Perfect for quick sessions yet endlessly replayable, it rewards careful planning, bluffing, and precise execution.

How to play:
Place an influence tile each turn to add strength around nearby figures on the map and press your claim.
Surround and claim a figure by holding the highest adjacent influence when its surrounding spaces are filled.
Collect captured figures to build majorities across the three castes, choosing where to contest and where to concede.
Manage a limited hand of tiles, timing powerful specials to reposition, swap, or extend your reach.
Create tactical enclaves to capture multiple figures at once while blocking opponents’ key lines.
Play continues until a figure type is depleted or no further placements remain, then compare majorities to determine the winner.
