About Daimyo

It's a board game. It's a war between ancient Japan Daimyos. Each player is the Daimyo of a clan and has to create and control his warriors trying to capture an enemy Daimyo. It's a game of pure strategy. Easy to learn, but very difficult to master. You have big hexagons that show the territory. Cards control the game flow. You also have wooden pieces to represent your forces.
