Description

Once upon a time, in Zipang (Japan), during the Sengoku Period, more than one hundred years of military conflict tore apart the country as feudal lords battled for power. Everyone was affected, from brilliant military strategists, hardworking peasants, stealthy ninjas, to the enchanting princesses, rich aristocrats and venerable monks — even the almighty Emperor himself…

Zipang Portable is a fast-paced "pick one, play one" card game, beautifully designed by Japanese artists with gorgeous ukiyo-e style cards. Players will dive into the greatest battles of the 17th century. Become Sengoku heroes vying for the Shogun’s power in this compact game which is easy to learn, but hard to master.
