Shogun is set in Japan during the
Sengoku or "Warring States" period. Each player assumes the role of a great
Daimyo with all his troops. At the start of the game players must achieve a
strong starting position, and each turn every player has the same 10
possible actions to develop his kingdom and secure points. Each round, the
players decide which of the actions are to be played out, and in which of
their provinces the actions should take place. If battle ensues between
opposing armies, comabt is resolved by using the unique Cube Tower. The
troop pieces (wooden cubes) from both sides are thrown in together and the
cubes that fall out at the bottom show who has won the battle. Provinces,
temples, theatres and castles all score points for the owning player.
Whichever player has the highest number of points after the second round of
scoring becomes the Shogun.
