Champions of Rokugan to Bring Legends of the Five Rings to the Boardgaming World

Hey kids! Do you like board games? Do you like Legends of the Five Rings? Then you’ll love Monolith’s new Champions of Rokugan board game!

Coming soon to Gamefound, Champions of Rokugan lets players ‘take up the sword, spear, or spells of the greatest heroes of the Legend of the Five Rings universe’. This cooperative game is designed for one to five players who will ‘fight to honourably carry out the mission entrusted to [their] group of samurai.’ Each player’s loyalty is to his of her own clan, and they bring glory to ‘in the eyes of the Emerald Empire’.

Players will use a dice mechanic ‘based on the Five Rings’, using the results from their dice rolls to create different combinations which power their actions and trigger effects and techniques specific to their heroes. These results can also be influenced by each character's skills, Ki and Honour.

See the campaign preview page on Gamefound for more details.
