Legend of the Five Rings LCG Core Set

Legend of the Five Rings: The Card Game is a player-influenced Living Card Game that sees two players take on the role of one of the seven Great Clans of Rokugan, vying for military and political control while maintaining Rokugan society’s strict code of honor. Each player commands their forces with two separate decks: a dynasty deck fills their provinces with characters and holdings while a conflict deck consisting of tactics, maneuvers, followers, and attachments is used to turn the tide in a struggle for supremacy. During a game, players will engage in conflicts, both political and military based, with the goal of breaking their opponent’s strongholds and winning the game. But the rules of society are absolute, and even in the fire of battle and heat of Rokugan’s courts, clans must remember the tenets of Bushido, lest they lose everything in their single-minded pursuit of glory. The Legend of the Five Rings: The Card Game Core Set comes with everything a player needs to explore the seven great clans of Rokugan, the Crab Clan, Crane Clan, Dragon Clan, Lion Clan, Phoenix Clan, Scorpion Clan, and Unicorn Clan. It also includes a variety of tokens, cards, and rule sheets that make the Core Set the definitive starting point for Legend of the Five Rings: The Card Game.

• ENTER THE VIBRANT WORLD OF ROKUGAN: The Emerald Empire of Rokugan. It is a land upheld by honor, guided by fate, ruled by destiny. The Great Clans each support the Emperor, but inter-clan conflict is inevitable—both in the Emperor’s courts and on the battlefield. In the midst of danger and turmoil, honor must be your sword and your armor.
• A LIVING CARD GAME OF HONOR AND CONFLICT: Join the Great Clans, uphold the tenets of Bushidō, and fulfill your duty to your daimyō and the Emperor in a world shaped and changed by a dynamic, player-influenced story. During the game, you take on the leadership of one of the Great Clans which define Rokugani society, and you are cast into conflict against another clan.
• STRATEGY GAME: Your conflicts will decide the future of Rokugan, whether you’re battling with a katana or with cutting words, but the samurai of your clan cannot remain by your side indefinitely—when their destinies are fulfilled, you must find new allies to continue your conflicts. Ultimately, it’s your choice whether you will fight with honor or use unsavory means, but in every game, it is your role to lead your clan to victory.
