## FAQ
### Do I need the base game Rising Sun to use the Daimyo Box?
Absolutely! The Daimyo Box is an expansion, so it adds content and components to the base game of Rising Sun. You can't play without it.

### What are the main components this box adds?
It includes a lot of exclusive Kickstarter extras, such as an extra set of season cards, plastic strongholds and alliance tokens, plastic mandate and ronin markers, the Fox Clan, and 10 different monsters.

### Does this expansion significantly change the game's complexity?
Yes, somewhat. With more clans, monsters, and options, the game becomes richer and more strategic, but also a bit more complex to master initially.

### How much playtime does the Daimyo Box add?
The box itself doesn't directly add playtime, but the greater variety of clans, monsters, and strategies might make games last a bit longer, especially when players are exploring the new content.

### Does the game become longer with this expansion?
It might. The addition of more elements and the need to adapt to new tactics and threats can extend the duration of matches, particularly the first few times you play with the new content.

### Do I need to translate the cards or components?
Yes, Ludopedia indicates a moderate language dependency. It's recommended to have the cards translated or use a reference sheet to make the most of it.
