Set in an age of feuding samurai, wandering swordsmen and fearless
warrior monks, Ronin is a skirmish wargame that captures the
flavour and excitement of such Akira Kurosawa films as Seven
Samurai and Yojimbo. Whether they prefer the loyal samurai
retainers of a feudal lord or a horde of desperate bandits, players
choose from one of several factions and build forces to battle for
dominance and survival in 16th-century Japan. They may also recruit
swords-for-hire to supplement their forces – masterless ronin,
martial arts masters and secretive ninja will lend their skills to
any commander who can afford them. A full points system,
incorporating a wide range of equipment and skills, allows for
detailed customisation of characters, while scenarios and a
campaign system permit them to gain experience and develop over
time. The fast-paced rules simulate the cut and thrust of
hand-to-hand combat and require the player to make tactical
decisions in the middle of a fight, immersing them in an era of
war.
