Senjutsu: Battle For Japan

Players command one of four samurai warriors and fight duels on a modular battlefield. Each warrior has distinct strengths, weaknesses, and a personal playstyle rooted in Bushido. Build a 40-card Ability Deck from a shared pool of attacks, blocks, mediations, and special moves, then draw a hand each round. Players select cards facedown and reveal them simultaneously, compare initiatives, and resolve effects to move, strike, and manage wounds. A samurai who accumulates five wounds is removed from play. The game supports 1–4 players and uses detailed miniatures to represent positioning and combat.
