Blocks = armies \u0026amp; cards = motivation. The combination of army and motivation produces impact on the battlefield. Armies without matching cards don't fight.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLegitimacy is represented by hand size, which fluctuates each week according to the number of castles a player holds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe initial setup is variable, so the situation is always fresh. Concealed information (blocks and cards) lends additional uncertainty. In this way it 'feels' something like an actual campaign.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach player must rally the several daimyo of his coalition, managing the morale and motivation of each clan. The forces are dispersed, and while there are reasons to unify them, the objectives are also dispersed (and the time frame compact) so skirmishing will occur all over the island.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GMT Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":403565905,"sku":"1101-18 1101-22","price":56.11,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/www.booyakajuice.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9631\/products\/Sekigahara_-_The_Unification_of_Japan.jpg?v=1578608840","url":"https:\/\/www.booyakajuice.com\/products\/sekigahara-the-unification-of-japan","provider":"booyakajuice","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
