Bushido: Der Weg des Kriegers, translated to Bushido: Way Of The Warrior, is a board game based in feudal Japan where competing Daimyōs aim to gain enough honor to become the next Emperor of Japan. Played between three and five people, these competing Daimyōs attempt to gain 50 Daimyō honor through territorial conquest, samurai honor, or a surplus of combat katanas. During play, the current Daimyō assigns role cards to the other players which last until the end of the current Daimyō's turn. These role cards are: Samurai who will lead the Daimyō's forces into combat, Bushi who will be defending their territory, Sensei who will be providing council and utilizing effects, and (only in 5 player games) Hatamoto who has the option to lead a revolt against the Daimyō. The players have 12 months to reach 50 Daimyō honor, although this time may be extended by effects.
