A few weeks ago I presented RONIN at our local gaming convention in Berlin and the mostly new players had tons of fun playing either bandits or defending a village of rice farmers with 7 samurai who are willing to fight for a few handful of rice....
The village looks quiet before hell break loose...
A look at the village
The fighting was fast and deadly
Sorry for the picture quality in some cases, I had to make some with my own camera.
Under heavy losses, the samurai won most of the games.
In another scenario a buch of ninjas tried to kill the abbott of the local temple because he interfered too much with the politics of the clan lord. RONIN is really a cool skirmish game and one of my favorite games!
