Bushido
Five ninja stars out of five
Designer: Pedro Mendoza | Artist: Catalä, Myatt, Wope
The experience of two-player fighting games usually involves methodically chipping away at an opponent’s health, the crescendo of victory preceded by careful planning over several turns.Then in bursts Bushido and asks: how would you like it if you could kill your opponent in one go?
Your initial gut reaction to this suggestion is probably that the fight would feel unfair and unsatisfying. With Bushido that couldn’t be further from the truth. Here you appreciate the sudden resolution of each fight because it gives you the chance to go again, try a different approach and build up a new hand of cards. And if that doesn’t work? Go again. And again.
