Ninja: Legend of the Scorpion Clan

[catch8088]

Designed by Fréderic Moyersoen

The game centers around one very dangerous night at a castle in the provinces of the Lion Clan. Honorable Lion samurai stand vigilant watch around the castle, protecting it from harm. The Scorpion Clan sends one well trained ninja to infiltrate the castle for nefarious purposes… it may be to assassinate an imperial guest under the Lion’s protection, or poison the well, or steal the daimyo’s war plans for the coming season. Whatever the goal, the ninja has vowed to accomplish it, or die trying. Worse yet for the Lion Clan, the ninja has an accomplice: a traitor among the ranks of the Lion samurai whose true loyalty lies with the Scorpion.

Will there be anyone who will get this game?

An L5R property featuring hidden movement.  Sounds interesting

I am a true-blooded Scorpion who revelled in making an opponent with 39 honor drop to -22 in one turn (true tournament story)

This sounds positively awesome. Is this a recent release?

[Rolf]

Not yet released.  Apparently it will be demo'ed at Gen Con, so I'd guess at a third quarter release at the earliest.

Thanks for the heads-up! Will look forward to it then. Much appreciated!
