Post Scriptum Placentia Games & Post Scriptum | Atalia | Shogun no Katana | Expert Game | From 1 to 4 Players [Ages 14+ | From 60 to 180 Minutes | Original Strategic & Mechanical

The katanas (sword, in Japanese) have always been fundamental to the outcome of the battles that elected or overthrown noble and powerful families at the head of the different regions. But behind these beautiful masterpieces, lies a millennial art made of technique and discipline. Master blacksmiths, guardians of ancient secrets, have in their hands the fate of entire families and the history of their country.

Assign workers in your forge to various tasks: Select orders to complete. Collect resources to the market. Mission artists to create breathtaking decorations. Ask for favors from the Shogun. Work at every stage of making a sword.

The heart of the game is this work at the forge. Swords in preparation must go through several workshops (metal, leather, wood and/or lacquer) successive, according to what the Katana tile indicates. These workshops are divided into a grid that activates a row or an entire column to work on different Katanas at the same time. With each activation, you must have the necessary resource in stock, and then move the Katana tile until the next workshop.

But be careful! If having a lot of Katanas on the grid enables multiple workshops to be activated in a single action, it also increases the risk that they will interfere with each other and not progress smoothly from one stage to another. You must therefore carefully plan each step to optimize each of its turns.
