War of Honor

About this board game

War of Honor is a 2–4 player Legend of the Five Rings strategy game with an approximate 60-minute play time. Players pursue victory through political, honorable, military, and spiritual deeds while rival Clans maneuver for supremacy.

Set at the Plains of Thunder, the game presents a tense struggle among the Dragon, Lion, Phoenix, and Scorpion Clans. Players form and dissolve alliances, engage in political maneuvering, and wage mighty battles as they decide which Clan will triumph.

War of Honor uses Legend of the Five Rings CCG cards, but owning a card collection is not required. The game includes four pre-built decks, ready to play out of the box, making it an accessible way to experience the dynamic multiplayer format.

• Four included decks for the Dragon, Lion, Phoenix, and Scorpion Clans
• A scoring board and markers for tracking the game
• Movable tiles that determine alliances and wars
• Additional tiles for the other five Great Clans

The tile system brings board game sensibilities to the Legend of the Five Rings CCG, with tile placement strategies creating a different play experience every time. The included tiles also allow War of Honor to be expanded with existing Legend of the Five Rings cards.

The basic game supports two to four players, while larger groups can play by customizing the experience with their own L5R cards. Suitable for cards from the existing arc or older collections, War of Honor combines tactical battles, shifting alliances, and multiple paths to victory in one multiplayer format.
