## Description
Hey folks! Check out these two promo tiles that originally dropped back in 2016 as a reward from a Dice Tower Kickstarter campaign. They're the Phoenix and Turtle cards, adding a little extra spice for those who already dig Onitama. They also showed up in the Sensei's Path expansion, so if you've got that, you might already have these tucked away. Their deal is they bring new movement options and strategic twists to the base game, keeping that fast-paced, clever feel we love about Onitama. It's just a couple of cards, meaning the rules are easy to grasp and don't add much complexity, but their impact on the game can be significant. Perfect for anyone who wants a little variety without overcomplicating things. If you're an Onitama fan and enjoy exploring all the new bits, these promos are a great find to amp up your ninja master battles. The game remains a tactical grid duel, where every move matters and the action cards set the pace. With these additions, the possibilities expand just a bit, ensuring each match feels fresh. It's the kind of thing that makes you want to play again and again!

## FAQ
### Do I need the base Onitama game to use these cards?
Yes, absolutely! These cards are promotions and expansions for the base Onitama, so you'll need the original game to play with them.

### Do these cards significantly change the game's rules?
Not really. They add new movement options and strategic possibilities, but the core gameplay of Onitama remains the same. They're an extra touch, not a rule overhaul.

### Are they difficult to learn how to use?
Not at all! It's just two cards with specific moves. You'll learn how to use them quickly and be playing in no time.

### Where can I find these cards now?
They were originally from a 2016 Kickstarter, but they were also included in the Sensei's Path expansion. If you have that expansion, you likely already have them!

### Are they worth it if I already have the Sensei's Path expansion?
If you're a collector or like to have all the versions, then yes. In terms of gameplay, the impact is small, as the expansion already adds a lot.

### How many cards come in this pack?
It's just two promo cards: the Phoenix and the Turtle.
