One fortress. Forty-five minutes, and somebody is going to be furious.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGunsen: The Battle for Toshi Ranbo\u003c\/strong\u003e puts you at the head of one of Rokugan's seven Great Clans — Crab, Crane, Dragon, Lion, Phoenix, Scorpion, Unicorn — all fighting over the same castle. Each clan plays differently. Each one is also carrying a secret agenda nobody else can see, and that is the part that makes it sing. You can read the board perfectly and still be reading the wrong person.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat a gunsen actually is\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA folding war fan. Generals used them to signal orders across a battlefield when shouting stopped working, and here they are your win condition — get seven of them out and the game is over. You are not swinging a sword. You are pointing, and hoping everyone was looking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it plays\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eArea control, with a tableau you build up as you go. Move your heroes, take villages, win battles, bank resources, and turn all of that into revealed gunsen before anyone else manages it. There are several routes to seven, which is why the table never quite agrees on who is winning until somebody suddenly is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThing is, most area control games of this size start to sag at five or six players. This one is built for a full table and still lands inside the hour. That is a rarer combination than it ought to be, and it is the main reason we brought it in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIn the box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 main board and 1 battle board\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e24 clan hero standees and 3 mercenary hero standees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 custom battle dice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12 village tokens, 6 battle tracking tokens, 4 upgrade tiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Toshi Ranbo tile, 3 shrine tiles, 3 watchtower tiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrder cards and battle tactics cards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e90 resource tokens — 30 influence, 30 wood, 30 koku\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlayers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2–6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlaying time:\u003c\/strong\u003e around 45 minutes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigners:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ben Rosset and Matthew O'Malley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Office Dog\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSetting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Legend of the Five Rings — Rokugan, the Emerald Empire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReleased:\u003c\/strong\u003e 28 August 2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you know Legend of the Five Rings from the card games, this is the same world at table scale — clan rivalries, elemental magic, and a lot of people being extremely polite to each other while planning something.
