Shizoku is a tactical card game for 3-8 players set in feudal Japan, where power, honor, and deception clash in the race to become Shogun.

Each player commands a house and must juggle temporary alliances, bluffs, and twists to gain influence and control territories.

The game is fast-paced and consists of four rounds of quick battles, each with a Territory card that alters the rules of each game.

Alliances are great, but betrayals are even better.
