Rival clans vie for prestige at Himeji Castle by securing influence, training followers, and outmaneuvering each other at court.

Gameplay

Score the most points by placing lamp tokens to claim actions that gain resources, buy and upgrade influence cards, place clan seals, move your courtier, and trade with the Portuguese. The tension is tight turn-by-turn denial and timing—take what you need now or risk your rival grabbing it first.
