Naishi – A Strategic Duel at the Heart of the Japanese Imperial Court!

Welcome to a world of subtle diplomacy and razor-sharp tactics. Naishi is a fast-paced, highly thematic strategic duel for two players. Expand your province by obtaining new structures and influential characters to grow your prestige.
However, the Shogun’s law is strict and forbids you from freely reorganizing your cards! You must seize crucial opportunities and send your emissaries to the imperial court in order to place your cards as efficiently as possible, allowing you to control the most prestigious land in all of Japan.
Key Game Features:
Fast & Deeply Tactical: Experience an elegant blend of hand management and positional puzzle-solving that keeps both players engaged from start to finish.
The Law of the Shogun: You can never freely reorganize your cards, either in your hand or in your tableau. Cards drafted from the "River" must maintain their relative positions, making every placement a high-stakes decision.
Build Your Legacy: Strategically arrange Ninjas, Ronins, Toriis, Rice Fields, and the elusive Naishi to create the highest-scoring Imperial Court.
Emissary Intrigue: Send your emissaries to the court to swap your card positions or force a tactical, disruptive exchange directly with your opponent.
Positional Scoring: Points are scored based on each character's unique scoring ability and, crucially, their exact spatial position within your final tableau.

In the courts of the Emperor, a single misplaced step can ruin a dynasty. Will your strategy stand the test of the Shogun's law?
