Raise Your Steel Once More In Kodachi

October 5, 2018 by cassn

In 12th-century Japan, you rested after the Gempei War. You retired your ninjato sword and pursued a life of peace. Then, the ruling families, once again, called for your special skills to establish their honor. To survive and bring glory to the ruling family, you will need stealth, strength, cunning, intrigue, and the swiftness of a Kodachi sword!

In Kodachi, players battle against guards to obtain treasure through strength and stealth. Players who choose to use strength must play cards with a value higher than the guards, whereas players who use stealth must play cards with a lower value.

Won treasures can be used to create rumors, bribe messengers and hone your skills. The game is over when the las clan token has been taken, and the player with the highest score at the end of the game is declared the winner!

Kodachi has been described by designer Adam West as a streamlined version of his earlier release Ninjato. Unfortunately, it will not be released until May 2019, however eager shoguns can pre-order through the PHD Games website.
