Senjutsu; Battle for Japan - Review

[@a-blivvy-yus]

Fun additional trick: Make 2 solo decks and set up a 0-player game where 2 solo AI characters fight each other.

[@NinjaGeekGames]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 brilliant!!

[@a-blivvy-yus]

@@NinjaGeekGames If it works well enough, a few of my friends are planning to run an AI tournament xD

[@AlcatrazHR]

I don't get it. AI in a board game?! How? Is not a video game. :/

[@a-blivvy-yus]

@@AlcatrazHR Solo play involves the use of an "AI" deck of cards which determines the behaviour of NPCs for you to fight.

[@NinjaGeekGames]

@alen3351 A Solo game using AI decks/automa is hugely popular. In fact, a lot of games now provide a solo mechanic.

[@aaronutley]

Great review! Mine arrives early next week! Excited!

[@NinjaGeekGames]

Awesome!! And thank you

[@ConWest98]

Just got the all-in yesterday and played 3 games last night! Super fun and easy to learn when you get past the issue of rules not being super clear. Can’t wait to try out all the different classes as well as learning the deck building! Also looking forward to doing tournaments with some friends!

[@NinjaGeekGames]

I wonder how they'd tournaments? I'd be interested in attending as it's quite a balanced game

[@princelonestarr2330]

Glad I wasn't the only one with confusion about the rules. Took me a while of just reading the rules to figure out how to play

[@elzheiz]

The quick playtime/no downtime really is awesome, feels very thematic! Unagi!

[@NinjaGeekGames]

UNAGI

Excellent review. Really looking forward to recieving my copy. Subbed.

[@NinjaGeekGames]

Thank you. Really appreciate the feedback. Hope you enjoy the game. If you have issues with any rules give me a shout.

[@atothepex]

Can't wait for my pledge to arrive in New Zealand 🙂

[@NinjaGeekGames]

It's great fun. Can't stop playing!!!!

[@atothepex]

@@NinjaGeekGames awesome, great to hear!

[@Groovestonenz]

Me too!

[@NinjaGeekGames]

@@Groovestonenz you'll love it

[@johngillenwalters7101]

Just bought and played this game at PAX unplugged and got tought how to play by Paul Allen, one of the designers and creators. incredible game. Fast game without a pause

[@NinjaGeekGames]

That's great. I was asked to join the team to support teaching demo's, but being from UK it just wasn't feasible...maybe next year. Enjoy!!

[@allswellthatends7201]

Great review. Looking forward to this one being delivered soon. Could be wrong but I feel like it was only 2 player when first announced and I backed it, so it’s great to hear it plays up to 4!

[@NinjaGeekGames]

Thank you. We've had some great games at 2v2, really awesome ones where we shared info and planned traps etc.

[@NotBoredGaming]

It’s always had solo - I played it solo in its earlier development about a year before it was launched.

[@NinjaGeekGames]

@notboredgaming has done a nice solo review for it

​@@NinjaGeekGames 2v2, interesting 🤔

[@NinjaGeekGames]

​@@The_Crimson_Wolf_very cool

[@flipmoviemaker]

Really looking forward to getting this one!

[@NinjaGeekGames]

Have you managed to play yet

[@flipmoviemaker]

@@NinjaGeekGames I wish, still havent received it!

[@ModularLanding]

Great video, thanks! Game looks great!

[@NinjaGeekGames]

Thank you 😊

[@Phoney72]

Ohh i cant wait for this to show up.

[@NinjaGeekGames]

Not long

[@sstankfish]

I'm not sure I've ever seen a YTer with the Gears of War board game on their shelf O:

[@NinjaGeekGames]

I'm a rare breed 😄😄

[@cyberc0l0mbiana]

Can’t wait to get mine delivered! Been also looking at Test of Honour V2 - any thoughts on how these two compare (besides Senjutsu having a solo option)?

[@NinjaGeekGames]

No, sorry. Not played Test of Honour

[@cyberc0l0mbiana]

@@NinjaGeekGamesthanks for the response!

[@d-rockthegreat]

I ordered the bigger playboard and 4 expansions, you think it's possible to play with more than 4 players depending on the set up? We may try it anyway once the game arrives

[@akrington1]

You could definitely play with more players however the games will take much longer. Once you are familiar with the rules and decks though I'm sure you'll be able to cut the time down.

[@d-rockthegreat]

@@akrington1 thanks. I'm okay with a longer game, Dice Throne with 6 took awhile and we all had fun. As long as it's balanced I think that's important

[@pejotaa.m.6369]

Great video, very detailed. I'm glad to see so many positive opinions about this game. Could you please tell me the dimensions of a hexagon on the board? I want to start making my own boards while waiting for the game to arrive

[@NinjaGeekGames]

That sounds awesome! What boards will you do?

[@pejotaa.m.6369]

@@NinjaGeekGames I miss more typical landscapes in this game; it's all snow! So, I have prepared a field of vegetation with sakura petals on the ground, another field of tall dry vegetation, and a beach battlefield with a torii gate in the sea (this one will be a mini). The gate will be in a shallow water area where players can move.

[@pejotaa.m.6369]

@@NinjaGeekGames I also want to make a dojo. Some of these battlefields will be a bit larger than the original to accommodate 4 or 6 players.

[@NinjaGeekGames]

@@pejotaa.m.6369 would love to see that

"that will be soon received by the backers". Yeah, I got mine yesterday....

This was a pre-release copy for review...also, I didn't make the game 😜

[@TortleTalk]

Still waiting on mine lol :p

How do you compare to guards of atlantis?

I haven't played this, sorry

[@walkinginsingapore8548]

Why call it a AI UNIT?

Automa

[@user-lz9ve8np8n]

So… when does the game end? How do I win?

[@NinjaGeekGames]

You win if your opponents deck depletes or they hold wound and/or stun equal to hand limit
