In war-torn feudal Japan, the army is restless. The endless battles, betrayals, and broken promises have the soldiers doubting where their loyalties lie. Meanwhile, the daimyo are strategizing, gathering their troops, and erecting strongholds to bolster the strength of their armies, all in pursuit of honor and ultimate victory.

In Gunkimono, players take on the roles of these daimyo, plotting their advances across the countryside. Each new squad of troops yields victory points, but you may choose to forgo these points and save up for your stronghold instead. All the while, you need to keep a close eye on your opponents so that their forces do not grow too large and expand at your expense.

Features:

• A furiously competitive tile laying game.
• Each troop placed yields a new decision - immediate victory points or long term development of your forces.
• Gather your troops to maximize your formation!
