Small Samurai Empires
Players vie for control of feudal Japan across three Eras, each made up of two rounds. On each round, players program order tokens facedown into slots across four regions, then reveal and resolve them in owner order. Order tokens allow recruitment of samurai armies, movement to conquer provinces, construction of castles for defense, and other strategic actions that alter regional control and value. At the end of each Era players score based on the regions they control; the highest total after the third Era wins.
