Shijin
Players engage in a tactical duel between celestial guardians competing to protect the Emperor’s newborn heir. On a 5×5 board, each player moves a Guardian and four Seals across adjacent empty spaces, using special Seal moves when positioned beside their Guardian. Each Guardian has a unique ability that shapes its strategies. The first player to place all four Seals adjacent to the opposing Guardian captures it and wins.
