HeroCard: Rise of the Shogun
In late 12th-century Japan, the emperor’s influence declines as rival factions compete for control of feudal Japan. Players use alliances, court manipulation, and hand-to-hand combat to advance their faction and oppose their rival. The game is a two-player HeroCard game and can be expanded to three or four players with additional Miko and Prince decks.

Tom5.9 A good use of the Herocard system, combined with a good area control game. See my review for more details...
