Senji is great game of diplomacy, management and war. It reminds of the good old Dune, or even more of the Game of Thrones boardgame, which I both like and played a lot. Senji is lighter, faster and less technical, but it has the same clever interaction between the war, talks and management. The usual drawback, however, is that like all such games, it’s best played with a full complement of six players.
Eh? Eh? AT'ness?

This one looks pretty good overall (despite the "elegant" combat mechanic promised in the description) but if there's one theme I have almost absolutely no interest in it's Feudal Japan. And I love Kurosawa pictures. I even have some Shinkendo training. I just for some reason don't like the theme in gaming at all. I don't like wargames with Asian history themes, I don't like Japanese trappings, I don't like samurai stuff...I don't even really like ninjas all that much. If it were 1985, I'd be singing a different tune...guess I got Nipponed out back then.
Glad it's Asmodee...they're turning out to be a good publisher.

I will not eat them, Sam I am. Heh, sorry, too easy.
I guess I'm the opposite. I LOVE the shogun theme. Can't get enough of it. I won't play Wallenstien now that Shogun is here. So this game looks quite promising to myself.
I also think the Diplomacy aspect of games really hasn't been expanded upon as of late. People either love or hate "dip" games. I am one of them that love the evilness of it. By the looks of the game pic (and I am just guessing) it has a HUGE stack of option cards. Hopefully it will add lots of flavor and replayability .

Ok, Ok, stop with the boos and hisses!

I will definitely give it a shot. I enjoyed Dragon's Gold, so at least I'm aware of where he's coming from.

I really have to admit I like Bruno's designs, and when he recommends a game, I tend to listen. Same thing with Moritz; a man who likes games such as Magic Realm and Wilderness War is someone that I'll listen to.

If you guys are interested in multiplayer diplomacy games and new approaches to them, I have to pimp Here I Stand. I know it's a wargame. But the combat isn't complicated and now that so many euro players have been introduced to CDG mechanics through Twlight Struggle and 1960, I think the learning curve wouldn't be as extreme as you might think.
