Small Samurai Empires is an action-programming area-control game for 2-4 players, where players are fighting for control of Japan with their armies of Samurai!
A game of Small Samurai Empires is played in 3 Eras, each consisting of 2 rounds. Each round, players will take turns placing order tokens facedown on one of the slots available in the 4 regions of Japan. When all players have placed their tokens and filled all the token slots, they will be revealed and resolved one by one by the owner of the token. These order tokens will enable the players to recruit mighty Samurai armies, move their armies to conquer provinces, build castles to defend and maintain control of their provinces and do other meaningful actions.
At the end of each of the three Eras, players will score points depending on the regions they control and their value, which can change during as the game progresses. Finally, the player with the most points at the end of the game is the winner!

Played a few games with 2-player and 3-player. It is a nice game that combines multi mechanisms into a small box and compresses an epic feel area control into an hour or so. This game play well with both 2 and 3 player counts. Looking forward to trying a 4-player game KS Deluxe $82

Purchased by a friend- tried it. A bit simplistic, but a good option for a streamlined hidden order game. But this is a pass, as there are others already filling the small area control arena, like Battle for Rokugan, the King is Dead, Joraku, & Samurai.

First play with 2 persons. Great game: - easy to learn; - deep choices; - very interactive! This game plays fast and I’m looking forward for higher player counts.
