About the game
Ronin is a Kickstarter exclusive expansion to Shadow Tactics - The Board Game that gives solo and cooperative modes to the game. In this mode the Daimyo player is replaced by an automated rules system, relying on different types of actions with specific dice to roll. There are several Daimyo actions like moving or defending a target, deployment, or roll call, that could be some potential tactics of a human Daimyo player. There are certain actions when the guards' movement very directly depends on what actions the ninjas actually programmed during that turn, so you have to make your plans very carefully and in close cooperation.
