About the Game

In the era of endless war, whose blade earns the ultimate trust?

During Japan’s Sengoku period, authority shattered and war never ceased. Daimyo rose and fell as rival warlords fought for power. In this age of turmoil, trust outweighed steel, and only those who mastered loyalty, alliances, and deception could rise above the rest.

Samurai Vassal is a fast-paced, simultaneous action card game for 2–6 players where each of you takes on the role of a samurai vying for your daimyo’s favor. Propose policies, negotiate alliances, and scheme in the shadows to be the first to earn the daimyo’s trust or betray your comrades at the perfect moment to claim victory for yourself.

The shogunate has fallen, leaving Japan divided among rival daimyos. As a samurai vassal, victory lies not in battle alone, but in political mastery.
