Set in a time when ancient clans and legendary warriors navigate a brutal path of loyalty and honor, Shoshin: The Path of Ascension not only immerses players in the tumultuous lives of Japan's iconic warrior classes but also explores the mythical elements of the times. From disciplined samurai to mystical yokai, each figure in this realm is bound by fate, fighting for their clan, honor, or perhaps a mysterious higher calling. In Shoshin, feudal Japan's struggles and spiritual elements are brought to life, blending strategic depth with epic storytelling. Shoshin: The Path of Ascension is an immersive tabletop skirmish game rooted in the fierce and mystical world of feudal Japan, where combatants battle for honor, prestige, and survival. Players command teams of warriors, creating distinct rosters from a pool of characters, as they clash across a series of skirmishes. Whether you lead your clan in honor-bound duels or embark on a journey as a band of Ronin, every battle reveals more about the Path of Ascension. -description from the designer
