Meet the Guards Who’ll Block Your Path in Rise of the Kage
July 21, 2014 by dracs
Some more artwork has appeared for the upcoming Bushido board game Rise of the Kage showing off the guardsmen of Prefecture of Ryu and the shadowy presence of a Ninja Grand Master.
First there is the guard, or novice guard to be more precise.
The novice guards will probably be the main obstacle ninjas will have to deal with. Although they aren't particularly skilled on their own, they can overwhelm an opponent in sufficient numbers and be a real problem if positioned carefully.
The other piece of artwork revealed is a very atmospheric piece showing a group of ninjas bowing before a grand master.
As you can see, the room is pretty well lit, but the master is still hidden in shadows. This makes me hopeful that the ninjas will be able to manipulate the shadows themselves as they try to sneak by.
Are you going to chip in when GCT Studios take this to Kickstarter?

Not sure how it will work with hidden movement or awesome miniatures – hopefully both, all compatible with the Bushido skirmish game. They did say it will be in plastic. I have faith they will pull off a great product and with it going to Kickstarter in September then maybe we can pump it up to have all kids of crazy stuff – hoping for more Oni and Yurei.
