Despite it’s name this a German designed game.
Interesting game with 5 players. Uses a movement mechanism like Heimlich & Co..
You start with 2 groups of samurai one on an outer track and one on an inner (there are crossover rooms where you can change tracks).
When you move, you move the number of spaces equal to the number of samurai you take. You may empty a room if if only has 1 or 2 tokens. If the room has 3 or more you must leave at least one samurai behind. If there is another color(s) of samurai in the room you must take at least 1 with you.
When the samurai get to a room of matching color the whole moving group stops there and the samurai matching the room color takes movement cards for the point track. Most are positive movement 1-5 and a few are negative. A few are kept face down to be scored at the end. First person to 20 wins. I liked the mechanism and the tactical aspect. Fun to try and advance yourself and strand opponents. I think maybe next time I might try it without any hidden points and have them all face up instead."
