📖 About This Game

Similar to the Diskwars game but with a Legend of the Five Rings flavor. The units on the board are disks which also contain all the information about the unit. Movement is accomplished by flipping the disk over a number of times equal to it's movement. Combat occurs when a disk overlaps an enemy disk. Anyone familiar with Diskwars will feel at home with this game.
