About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey, board game enthusiasts! Ready for another dose of strategy in the Micro Dojo universe? This time, things are heating up because your hard work caught the Shogun's eye, but not just his! Two rival clans have entered the fray for the city and want you on their side. On one hand, the Shinchoku clan, promising progress and prosperity, betting on a bright future. On the other, the Tsuyo clan, cultivating power and, let's say, some darker things like corruption. Your mission? Choose a side, pledge loyalty, and use all your cunning to ensure your chosen clan takes the reins.

This expansion brings a new layer of intrigue and rivalry to the base game. With area movement and worker placement mechanics (yes, with different worker types!), you'll have to think very carefully about where to place your tokens and which actions to prioritize. The struggle for influence and control becomes fiercer, and choosing which clan to support can completely change your strategy. It's a fast-paced game, ideal for those who enjoy impactful decisions in a short amount of time. Perfect for playing solo or for a strategic duel against a friend. If you like abstract games with an Eastern thematic touch that don't take all afternoon, this expansion is a real treat!
