Rules quiz
How much of Shogun do you still remember? Each question opens on its answer.
What happens when you bid a province card on the auction space instead of a war chest card?
A province bid costs nothing but tells everyone you cannot act in that province this round, and province bidders choose ahead of anyone who bid a zero chest card.
How many armies does the winner of a battle lose, and what happens to the survivors?
The winner loses as many armies as the defeated side had, and the survivors move into the province along with the province card.
How are regional majorities scored in winter when two or more players tie for the most of a building type?
Each tied player scores that building type's value minus 1, where castles are worth 3, temples 2 and theaters 1.
