“Shogun is based on the Wallenstein game system. The game is set in the Sengoku period (approx 1467-1573) which ends with the inception of the well-known Tokugawa Shogunate.  Wallenstein is set during the Thirty Years’ War, when military leaders roamed the country, fighting for dominance while building palaces and churches. Collect victory points by controlling countries and developing them, but don’t forget the peasants. Battles are fought using the dice tower, but rather than randomizing the faces, this tower keeps some of the cubes. The winner of the battle is determined by the number of the attacker’s and defender’s armies that emerge from the tower.”
