You and your fellow samurai are the only barrier between a terrified village and a bloodthirsty horde. The seven of you might seem no match for the dozens of enemies seeking to cut you to pieces, but this comparison fails to account for your combat skills and the effective team spirit that binds your samurai band. After all, when everything seems desperate and lost, your enemies will discover that within each of you lies a true beast—a warrior spirit ready to unleash its full power!
The board game Samurai Spirit is a cooperative game in which each player represents a fierce samurai defending a village surrounded by a horde of brigands. The game takes place over three rounds during which each player takes turns drawing brigand cards and then choosing whether to fight the brigand, defend the village, or let them pass in order to help another samurai. Fight bravely, help your teammates wisely, protect the defenseless villagers, and win the game!
