Lone Wolf Samurai Action Theater

Description

Lone Wolf: Samurai Action Theater.

Word has come to the Shogun that a samurai lord has been corrupted. This can not be allowed! He dispatches a lone ronin to find out what is going on and to fix it. What will he find in the village? Oppression? Bandits? True love? Play the game and find out! .

The players take on the roles of various people in the village and play out how truth and justice are returned to the land. .

Lone Wolf is set in 16th Century Japan and is played on a beautiful reproduction of a Japanese wood cut. .

Each turn a player buys to right to make up what happens next in the game. Their action isn’t automatic, they have to pick another player to be their referee. The referee decides how likely the action is (which sets what the player has to roll). Other players may buy the right to make counter-arguments which trigger dice rolling contests. While this sounds complicated it is actually extremely simple. Events either happen or don’t. The players keep a running record of what has happened until the facts lead them to a story climax which ends the game! Because people make up different actions each time the game never plays the same way twice! .

This is an intermediate level Matrix Game. It comes in a box with a 20x15 inch hard board map of a country estate, a booklet of character sheets, a scenario booklet, a rules booklet, an action matrix (which helps people learn how to make up actions), wooden counters, plastic gold coins, and dice. You can literally be playing the game 10 minutes after opening the box! .
