Sengoku: Clash of the Daimyō

What is Sengoku: Clash of the Daimyō

In Sengoku: Clash of the Daimyō, players lead rival Daimyō clans struggling for power during Japan's Sengoku period.

On a shared grid-based map inspired by Sudoku, players expand their Chain of Command, control key areas, gain Koku, use Retainers, build Castles, and race to complete a Capital before the final Imperial Summons.

Each clan has its own Daimyō and asymmetric deck. During the game, players place cards, protect important positions, use hidden face-down cards, trigger traps, and form shifting alliances as they compete for control of the board.

The core twist of Sengoku is its Rebellion system. The Sudoku-like placement rules create moments where matching numbers in the wrong places can break control, expose weaknesses, and open tactical opportunities.
