Rising Sun: Playmat Board

Description

Set in legendary feudal Japan, Rising Sun places players in control of the great clans, gathering by the mighty Kami to reshape the lands and return them to their honorable, spiritual traditions.
Each clan will use their unique abilities to spread their forces across the provinces, build their strongholds, harvest the land to reap its rewards, and wage war against each other. As the seasons change from spring, to summer, and to autumn, players may upgrade their clans with strategic enhancements, bountiful virtues, and even powerful monsters out of legend to aid their cause. The clans would also be wise to give worship to the gods, as each Kami may grant them powerful abilities. However, diplomacy can be an even more powerful tool, as the clans forge alliances for mutual benefit, and negotiate their way towards victory. In this political arena, honor is more valuable than gold, although betrayal can turn the tides of war. Battles are won, not just by sheer force, but by strategy and cunning.
This playmat was an optional buy from the Rising Sun Kickstarter. The playmat is 20% bigger than the cardboard board that comes in the core game, and can be stored in the tube it is packaged in.
This is not a stand-alone game. A copy of Rising Sun is required to play.
