What is Shogun
Japan during the Sengoku or “Warring States” Period (approx. 1467-1573): each player assumes the role of a great Daimyo, leading their troops to conquer the provinces of the Japanese islands.
Each Daimyo has the same 10 possible actions to develop his kingdom and score points. Each round, the players decide which of their actions are to be played out and in which of their provinces. If battle ensues between opposing armies, the unique Cube Tower plays the leading role: cubes (representing troops) from both sides are thrown in together, and those that fall out at the bottom show who has won immediately. Owning provinces, temples, theaters, and castles means points when scores are tallied. Whichever Daimyo has the highest number of points at the end of the game becomes – SHOGUN!
Shogun is based on the Wallenstein game system. The game is an international edition with language-independent components and five language-dependent rule booklets.

Nice game. Very well-structured. Cube-tower is an interesting randomizer.
Estrategia pura y dura. El toque de azar lo pone la torre pachinko en las batallas. me encanta, aunque hace falta gente y tiempo para pasarlo bien

Es un juego de 3 a 5 jugadores. Se desarrolla en dos años. Cada año tiene cuatro estaciones. Primavera, verano y otoño son turnos de juego e invierno es turno de puntuación (no se juega). En cada turno hay 10 acciones posibles que se suceden en orden aleatorio. Cada jugador debe asociar una acción a una sola de las provincias que domina (se puede farolear, hay cartas "para engañar"). La acción solo ocurrirá en esa provincia. La asociación que hace cada jugador es secreta. Después se va desvelando las acciones y se van aplicando en un orden de juego (que anteriormente ha sido objeto de subasta)
Players: 5, 4.

Great game! The cubes tower is a nice mechanic and gives a great touch of uncertainty. It works for 3 players, although it has to be much better with 4 or 5 players Un juego muy bueno donde la torre de cubos para las batallas aporta un toque de emoción e incertidumbre muy chulos. Aunque funciona bien con 3 jugadores, con 4 o 5 tiene que ser mucho mejor. Mi puntuación puede subir cuando tenga la oportunidad de jugar una partida completa con más gente.
