A nice strategy game that reminds be just a touch of Samurai (must be the theme). The game has a bit too much luck involved for my tastes. Certainly it isn't all just 'luck of the draw,' but I prefer games that have a bit more focus on how I play. The Solitaire included in the game I think exemplifies the problem. Clearing the board has much more to do with your random layout and the cards available than it does your actual strategy. Playing a player who may beat you only because they got cards that you couldn't possible beat isn't fun in any game and it happened a bit too often in this one for me to really get into it. However, for the strategy fan looking for a game that has decidedly distinct rules and a unique flavor, it is worth checking out the demo.
