It combines the piecepack with two colors of double-six dominoes, which you might need to print and play if you don't have some on hand. {{https://www.ludism.org/piecepack/pp8pix/JapanGame.jpg}} Because this game is a port of Reiner Knizia's game [[https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/3/samurai Samurai]], a fact that early drafts of this game obfuscated and the current rules don't make entirely clear either, it could never have been a winner of this contest, which is all about innovation (now, if it had been entered in [[http://www.ludism.org/piecepack/pp7.html Good Portsmanship]], on the other hand...) Nevertheless, there are some sweet, innovative mechanics in this game, especially having to do with the dominoes and "support". Playtester Karl said he actually prefers Japan to the original. I probably do too. I'm giving this game an unofficial Bronze. --RonHaleEvans, [[Where No One Has Gamed Before]], October 2018 ---- CategoryGame SpaceOccupationCategory MechanicSetCollectingCategory
