About the game

Description from the publisher: The Japanese clans are lost without the tenno's favor. In the card game Tenno, a clan that is able to capture many rivals improves its prestige at court and can strengthen its influence. Players provoke fights and attack each other tactically. Man against man, card against card: Who is the next to compete, and who has been clandestinely replaced during the game?
