Some games do seem to work better multiplayer, yet the layers of complexity can be quite frustrating. When I’ve played this with my husband, I often think I have a fantastic turn planned, only to find out that a card I can’t see across the table has some special keyword that invalidates everything.

It’s almost like every card has its own set of rules. Multiply that by the roughly 70 cards in each deck, and it’s overwhelming for me. I agree about the artistic combination, though! Really lovely illustrations, although this is the only expansion that gets more into the fantasy realm.

Interesting artistic combination of standard fantasy stuff with feudal Japan…
