The Legend of the Five Rings – release & release party

Back in 1995 a new collectible card game arrived on the scene, the Legend of the Five Rings (L5R). Drawing inspiration feudal Japan and other Asian cultures. It told the story of the land of Rokugan. The game lasted for 20 years. Then there was a year of silence.

This week, on October 5th, the Legend of the Five Rings returns as a new Living Card Game (LCG) with new mechanics and story, and you are invited to join the Great Clans, uphold the tenets of Bushido, and fulfill your duty to your daimyo and the Emperor in a world shaped and changed by a dynamic, player-influenced story. The game can be won through might or honor, or be lost through dishonor.

For those of you not familiar with LCGs, the cards are sold in fixed packs – so there is no randomization, you always know what you are buying.

October 14th, starting when we open the door at 11 AM we will be holding our launch party, the first 24 people will receive a lanyard, badge, and clan sticker sheet.

Facebook users! please tell us you are coming – we will make it worth your while. If you hate Facebook, just comment here and you will be available for the special drawing of upgraded tokens.

Come on in and learn the game!
