## Description
If you're already an Onitama fan and think you've mastered every possible move on that board, get ready for a little reality check! We're talking about the 'Steer and Lobster Promo Cards,' a set of promotional cards designed to shake up your tabletop experience. This specific kit was a gem from The Dice Tower's 2021 Kickstarter campaign (specifically from Pack A), which already gives it that touch of exclusivity collectors love.

But don't be fooled: this isn't just a shelf item to make your game look prettier. The real goal of these two cards is to inject a dose of unpredictability into your combat ritual. In Onitama, controlling movement is everything, and these cards introduce new movement options for your pieces. This means that the gameplay patterns you've memorized might be completely subverted by an unexpected maneuver. It's like playing the same game, but with a brand-new set of tactical tools in your hands.

For frequent Onitama players, these cards are the perfect seasoning to prevent matches from feeling repetitive. They maintain the essence of abstract strategy and hand management while forcing you to recalculate every single step. Keep in mind that as promotional items, they bring a 'new variable' dynamic that can shift the balance of a quick 15-minute match. If you're looking to keep the mental challenge high and want to give your strategic duels a fresh look, these cards are the ideal supplement for your base game. While it's a small amount of content in terms of volume, the tactical impact is massive!
