Roll To Conquer Japan With Fantasy Flight’s Age Of War
February 25, 2014 by brennon
Fantasy Flight Games have previewed a new game over on their website called Age of War. This dice game for two to six players sees you leading your clan to victory in the hope of uniting all of Japan under one rule.
On your turn you will be taking your dice and mustering an army. With the dice at your disposal showing infantry, archers, cavalry and generals you can then match them against a given castle and take it as your own.
You can either attack neutral castles or try and take on an enemies, robbing them of their control. The game ends when all the castles have been conquered and victory points are awarded for each. Owning all of a particular clan nets you extra points as well! The person with the most is deemed the winner and new leader of Japan.
It sounds pretty simple and fun so it will be neat to check this one out more.
Does it sound fun to you?

Designed by game guru Reiner Knizia, published by quality company FFG, with an ancient samurai theme and in popular dice game format – this is going to be a really sharp game. Excited for this one.
love to see some coverage of this…
2 new Knizia games coming soon. This one and Game of Thrones: Westeros Intrigue. Knizia is an exceptionally talented games designer, renowned for creating games which appear simple but actually really make you think.
Can’t wait to see more.
Maybe GW should get him to design the next edition of 40K!
