Iaijutsu (2022)

Theme
2 Players are catapulted in a Japanese samurai movie right at the very beginning of a duel, they must follow the cinematic canon:
-the talk: a bluff game
-the stare: a resource management game
-the fight: outsmart your opponent
No part is more important than the others and the outcome is never given for granted where honour is as important as blood.

Mechanics and Components
This game it's all comprised in 15 tarot size cards and 30 tokens, but don't let the size fool you, it's a mid to heavy game of bluff, resource management and out-thinking the opponents intentions.

To whom the game is intended
The game is for heavy card gamer as CCG and LCG players (especially Netrunner players) and all players that enjoy to think deeply on the consequences of they moves.

To whom this game is not intended
Casual players, one-of players, multi-players solitaire lovers

Why PNP
I think this game is so minimal in its components that betrays its expectations by providing an deep and unforgiving (and I hope unforgettable) play experience. Given this characteristics it becomes hard to sell as a physical product therefore decided to release it as a PNP.
