About this expansion

Senjutsu: Battle For Japan – The Gathering Storm is a character-focused addition for 1–4 players, with games lasting around 20 minutes. Released in 2023, it introduces two new warriors through miniatures, ability cards, kamae trees, and unique solo decks.

The set includes 32mm miniatures of a Sohei Monk and a Dutch Sailor, along with 104 ability cards. These cards include each character’s signature cards, new base ability cards, kamae trees, and dedicated solo decks for their individual challenges.

The Monk is a powerful fighter whose standout weapon card is Jumonji Yari Stab. This attack offers a backwards 1 optional movement and a solid attack pattern, followed by the option to spend Focus to move into the Defensive, or Yellow, Kamae position. That combination helps the Monk avoid being easily flanked.

The Sailor pays homage to William Adams, an English Pilot who washed ashore in Japan during the 16th century and rose through the ranks to become a full Samurai. His Core Card lets you exchange his Pistol for the Carrack Sword, creating a choice between ranged firepower and a different weapon.
