Rising Sun is a spiritual successor in the same mythic big box series as Blood Rage: same designer, same artist, same studio and same sculptors.
Rising Sun is a game about honor, negotiation, and warfare in a feudal Japan where the ancient gods (kami) have returned to rebuild the empire.
Whereas the distant ancestor of Blood Rage was Risk, Rising Sun claims Diplomacy as its distant ancestor. Tackle negotiations, alliances, and war. Capture hostages and commit seppuku. The game features an honor track, which rises and falls based on your actions.

Not so much in common with Blood Rage, very enjoyable, very strategic, very thematic, for me it's a 9/10 game, part of my top ten list and I own more than 100 games.

Kickstarter edition. New. If you live near Los Angeles, we can skip the shipping, and do an in-person exchange.

Nice mechanics here. I liked the alliances of working together but also not completely as to make sure you are always getting the most benefit out of mandates. Faction abilities and season cards were both powerful and fun. I actually liked that monsters could be captured by a regular troop, keeps monsters from being overly powerful. I liked the honor system being the tiebreaker in all things. I mainly liked the combat system. It was difficult knowing how opponents would bid on actions and anticipating everyone's moves. I actually made a clever move during the war phase in round three on an earlier battle that barely tipped the scale in my favor for the final battle between me and second place that won me the game. There is some bluffing that can be done too. Clever choices to be made in this game.
