Tabletop Games

A young, impetuous samurai sets out to defeat the enemies of his clan and bring honour to his family... The warriors in this box form an ideal starter force for the game, combining perfectly with the Recruitment cards from the core set. 18 new cards cards provide a range of extra Skills, Quests and Traits, plus brand new Honour and Dishonour cards, making this a great expansion for existing players too. The cards emphasise the unique character of the samurai, with Skills such as Salute Your Enemy, Death Poem, Spirit of the Ancestors and Heavy Armour, and Quests including Blood Feud and Head-Taker. The new Honour and Dishonour cards allow your samurai to impress or bring shame to their clan - gaining or losing a Skill card. Box contains 18 gaming cards for Test of Honour and 8 metal miniatures plus bases. Miniatures supplied unpainted and unassembled.

Test of Honour is a skirmish wargame played on a tabletop battlefield, with roughly 10-20 models on each side. Players select their force before each game based around a hero – perhaps a samurai, a masterless ronin, or even a warrior monk – along with one or two loyal companions and a variety of followers, who could be anything from clan soldiers to peasants. Battles are swift and bloody as players alternate acting with one of their warriors – moving and fighting to achieve the objective of the scenario, whether that be cutting down the enemy, defending an outpost or finding and protecting a spy. As you play through the battles, your hero will use new skills, and perhaps even take the shameful path of deceit and trickery to gain victory – such choices are the ultimate test of honour. 2nd Edition keeps the core system of the version 1 (with various tweaks and balances) and adds new Honour & Dishonour cards, Traits, secret quests, character progression, improved cavalry, expanded terrain rules, 18 different scenarios and more!
