Content Notes: Retail Edition of Rising Sun Board Game by CMON. Includes Core Board Game.

Rising Sun is a board game for 3 to 5 players set in legendary feudal Japan. As the Kami descend from the heavens to reshape the land in their image, it is up to each player to lead their clan to victory. Use politics to further your cause, negotiate to seek the most profitable alliances, worship the Kami to gain their favor, recruit monsters out of legend to bolster your forces, and use your resources wisely to be victorious in battle. Created by acclaimed designer Eric M. Lang, Rising Sun reunites the same creative forces responsible for the smash hit Blood Rage, with stunning artwork by Adrian Smith and intricate miniatures sculpted under the direction of Mike McVey.

The pre-order wait is long, but the retail edition comes with all the clan miniatures I wanted for our game nights. The negotiation phase adds a strategic layer that keeps everyone engaged until the final battle.
