L5R Embers of War BD

L5R: Embers of War SD

In the distant Colonies, once known as the Ivory Kingdoms, the samurai of Rokugan gather the resources the Empire needs to survive. Threatened by unknown enemies and pitted against one another in politics and economics, will their honor and steel prove strong enough for the Second City to survive? Embers of War is the brand new expansion for the fan-favorite Legend of the Five Rings Collectible Card Game from AEG. It follows the release of Emperor Edition, the new base set, releasing in February 2012. Now that peace has settled and the riches of the new land conquered by the Empress’ forces are discovered, new alliances and rivalries are formed, both on the mainland and the Colonies. Who will benefit the most?

 

 

I have recently reclaimed some of my L5R collection and I am looking forward to this.

Ninja Board Game Review

The ninja Board Game is a suspenseful and captivating experience every time.  I find an excellent balance between hidden (Ninja,Traitor, hand), revealed (events in game), and seen (Guards).   Basic objectives is to find the ninja and traitor accomplish your objectives and escape.  The cards are what you use to perform actions and duel.  The three create a pseudo-political tension that requires a certain degree of critical thought that isn’t found in many other games.  Ninja captures the tension  of being an assassin or a samurai in feudal Japan even though the game is set in the Legend of the Five Rings world.

In Thunderstone Advance you build your party of heroes to defeat the dreaded Thunderstone Bearers in their dungeons or wilderness. The player who defeats the most valuable monsters will win the day, but beware – those monsters have all-new tricks up their sleeves, and victory will not come easy.
