Description
A CLEVER GAME OF BLUFFING AND DEDUCTION!
In feudal Japan, powerful samurai clans battle for dominion over the land. But just being the strongest isn't enough. The powerful Kobayakawa clan shifts allegiance like the wind, bringing victory to the weak. Do you have what it takes to outsmart them?
Each players gets 4 coins (Kamons) and 1 card face down (that they can secretly look at). One card is revealed on the table (the kobayakawa). Draw phase : each player may 1) Draw one card, look at it, then decide which card to keep and discard face up the other, or 2) Replace the
kobayakawa with the first card from the draw pile.
Fight phase : Each player either bets one of her kamons or pass. All those who have bet reveal
their cards; the player with the lowest-numbered card can add the kobayakawa to her total. The player with the highest total wins the round and collects all kamons bet plus one. The player with the most kamons after 8 rounds wins the game.
Kobayakawa is a simple card game for 3-6 players. Using just 15 cards, bluff and bet your way to victory over seven rounds.
Contents:
15 cards
32 tokens
1 First Player token
