About the game
What you do in a play session
Call to Glory is a fast and fun card game, packed in a handy tin box. The goal is to collect Japanese characters of different values to score points. If you have two or more cards of the same character in your hand, you can risk playing them to score at the end of the round. But watch out: if another player reveals more cards of the same type, your already-played cards are discarded! The game includes two variants: 'Imperial Tasks', which adds extra missions for scoring, and 'The Power of the Ninja', which makes ninja cards more powerful. Perfect for those who want a quick game with a touch of strategy and a charming Japanese theme.
