Sekigahara: The Unification of Japan

Action Points

You get a limited number of action points each turn and choose how to spend them — prioritizing is everything.

Card Play Conflict Resolution

Conflicts are resolved by playing cards instead of rolling dice — it puts the outcome more in your hands.

Force Commitment

You must commit your forces before knowing the outcome — it's a nail-biting gamble on where to focus.

Hand Management

You have a hand of cards and deciding which to play, save, or discard is the core puzzle.

Point to Point Movement

You move between connected locations on the board — the map's layout decides your travel options.

Secret Unit Deployment

You place your units face-down so opponents don't know what you've got — the reveal is always exciting.

Turn Order: Auction

Players bid for the right to go first — sometimes that early position is worth paying extra for.
