About the game
Amidst the honorable samurai of the Emerald Empire, none stand quite as virtuously as those of the Crane Clan. It is by the grace and excellence of the Left Hand of the Emperor that peace is maintained, for their mastery of law and diplomacy is unparalleled. The descendants of Lady Doji helped codify the laws that govern life in the Empire, simultaneously defining the social order and modeling it with elegance. Masters of the Court contains 78 new cards (three copies of twenty-five different cards and one copy each of three different cards), many of which provide new tools to the Crane Clan! Masters of the Court celebrates all that makes the Crane great. Look for a Stronghold that brings dueling to the forefront, events that suppress your opponent's options, and courtiers dominating the courts of Rokugan! —description from the publisher
