Ninja All-Stars: Komuso is an expansion for Ninja All-Stars released in 2016 for 2–4 players and 60–90 minutes per game. Its main mechanics are Dice Rolling and Grid Movement.
Komuso is a mercenary ronin for Ninja All-Stars. Ronin bring potent new abilities to a player’s team that are entirely unique to them. As mercenaries, ronin may be used by any player, on any team. This makes ronin invaluable assets for every team, regardless of clan, since they may be used to supplement a team’s weaknesses in battle or further augment their strengths. Marked by the great wicker baskets that cover their heads, and heralded by the haunting sounds of their shakuhachi flutes, Komuso monks bring a calm aura and share wise words wherever they go. Where the basest of men fight for money, Komuso accept only food or supplies. Unburdened by material possessions, they often demand favors, prayers, or offerings at certain shrines from those who seek their assistance.
