From BoardGameGeek

Galactic Shogun is a fast-paced and dynamic social deduction game set in a fictional space/Edo-period themed story. The game involves hidden roles and teams with specific win conditions for each team. Gameplay is turn based. Each player will, in order, play only one Play Card from their hand and resolve the actions as noted on the card played. The game ends either by successfully resolving the “Laser Katana of Judgement” card, or if all cards have been played. -description from the publisher
