About the game
Rising Sun: Promo 1 – Sacred Warrior, Phoenix, and Nure‑Onna is the expansion that brings three monster miniatures to turbo‑charge your Japanese war campaign. The panda, the quietest of warriors, gains +1 force for each Virtue card you hold – perfect for those who love to stack power. Phoenix, with its bold flair, returns to the same province when killed, allowing instant victory point recovery. Nure‑Onna, meanwhile, counts as two force units and can cross shipping routes before a war resolves, offering strategic mobility. These ink‑on‑heart creatures not only increase unit variety but also introduce negotiation, alliance, and area movement mechanics that keep the game tense and unpredictable. If you’ve enjoyed the base game and want more character options, this set is a must‑have. Even though the expansion is small, it offers big opportunities to reconfigure alliances and adapt to each phase of the turn, keeping the experience fresh and engaging.
