For the Emperor

Two ancient clans work to overpower, outwit, and outmaneuver each other to claim victory!

In this two-player duel, you’ll send out your elite warriors to vie for control of seven battlefields. Each warrior adds their strength and ability to the battlefield where they’re placed.

You control a battlefield if you have more total strength there than your opponent. If you control the most battlefields at the end of the game, you win!

With tricky cards that cause others to be returned to hand, amplify the power of cards at the same battlefield, and more, you’ll have to be clever to triumph.

A creative marriage of area control and card play mechanics give this a Love Letter meets Battle Line feel.
Beautiful classic Japanese art leans heavily into the theme of battling Samurai.
Interesting decisions from start to finish make this game tense and thinky right up until the last card is played.
