Produktbeschreibung
Honshu, Japan, Ende des 16. Jahrhunderts.
Sengoku, das Zeitalter der streitenden Reiche, geht seinem Ende entgegen. Nach mehr als einem Jahrhundert fortwährender Unruhe, vor dem Hintergrund immer neuer Kriege mit Verrat, Brudermord und ständig wechselnden Bündnissen, steht ein Mann, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Erbe eines kleinen unbedeutenden Hauses, kurz davor, Japan zum ersten Mal in seiner Geschichte zu vereinigen und das Edo-Zeitalter einzuleiten — eine Zeit des Friedens, die zweieinhalb Jahrhunderte andauern sollte. An die Macht gelangte dieser erste Shogun der Tokugawa-Dynastie dank der Loyalität seiner vier Samurai-Generäle, den Shitenno (wörtlich «Die vier himmlischen Könige»)
The Shitennō are the four great Generals of the legendary Shogun Togukawa Ieyasu who unified Japan at the end of the 16th century. The players will play these loyal and famous samuraïs, with the goal of becoming the Shogun's favorite by controlling as many provinces as possible.
In Shitenno, you do not fight on the battlefield, but through planning and manipulation in the Shogun's court. A game turn starts with a "distribution phase" in which the active player creates card lots, one for each player, but takes the lot remaining after all other players have taken their cards. (All part of following the Japanese code of honor.) In the next stage, players can gain control of provinces.
The rules are easy to understand, but if you want to win, you have to judge your opponents aptly and guess their secret intentions. Every choice is crucial, every move is decisive...
