Dead Games: Shogun / Samurai Swords (1986 / 1995)

This dead-ish game ( i am unsure about the 2011 Ikusa re-print ) is the mighty Samurai Swords, a strategy board game of conquering japan while managing your forces. It contains tons of small plastic miniatures, and usually lasts the whole afternoon. Notes: i do bring up historical accuracy: i found some corrections from the video: --Kobayakawa and Ogata were turncoats who betrayed the west to join Tokugawa. --Konishi and Ukita were actually western army warriors. so was Chōsokabe Morichika --Uesugi Kagekatsu served the east --Oda Nagamasu served the east, while Oda Hidenobu served the west! --though the Maeda family was faithful to Tokugawa, Maeda Toshimasa decided to fight against his brother. --Mōri Terumoto was the official head of the west, though Ishida Mitsunari was the primary planner.
