Senjutsu: Battle for Japan - Review of challenging Samurai fencing boardgame

 

Welcome to my review of Senjutsu: Battle for Japan, which is a rather unique game in one respect - there are actually two games in the box with vastly different experiences but identical systems. In fact, you can play the game as a "PvP arena" where individual players fight against each other (which you can spice up by creating a deck of ability cards), or you can play two campaigns against the game: one solo and one in two-player co-op.
