{"product_id":"9781780968483","title":"Ronin: Skirmish Wargames in the Age of the Samurai","description":"Set in an age of feuding samurai, wandering swordsmen and fearless warrior monks, Ronin is a skirmish wargame that captures the flavour and excitement of such Akira Kurosawa films as Seven Samurai and Yojimbo. Whether they prefer the loyal samurai retainers of a feudal lord or a horde of desperate bandits, players choose from one of several factions and build forces to battle for dominance and survival in 16th-century Japan. They may also recruit swords-for-hire to supplement their forces – masterless ronin, martial arts masters and secretive ninja will lend their skills to any commander who can afford them. A full points system, incorporating a wide range of equipment and skills, allows for detailed customisation of characters, while scenarios and a campaign system permit them to gain experience and develop over time. The fast-paced rules simulate the cut and thrust of hand-to-hand combat and require the player to make tactical decisions in the middle of a fight, immersing them in an era of war.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46546019156209,"sku":"9781780968483","price":17.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/9781780968483_p0.jpg?v=1767880569","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781780968483","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
