Ikusa
Players represent rival daimyo in medieval Japan, maneuvering provincial forces and mobile armies across island provinces to consolidate strongholds and seize territory. Each round players allocate koku for turn-order bids and purchases, buy castles and fortresses, draft troops and ronin, and bid for a lone ninja. Turn order determines who plans and resolves attacks, with combat settled by die rolls. Victory comes from capturing a target number of territories or eliminating an opponent’s daimyos and absorbing their forces.

Tom5.9 Must have five players to be fun. If you do, however, it is a blast. The money system is one of the best I have ever seen!
