Please support via https://www.patreon.com/AmassGames follow on https://www.instagram.com/amassgames for daily played pictures For giveaways please check https://linktr.ee/AmassGames A chance to take a look at a game you may not have seen before and see what it looks like, how to play it, what I and others may think of it and how easy it is to transport.... I frequently cycle to gaming and have to cycle up a hill - thus, weight is important. I record videos so I can recall the rules. I also find it easier to watch than to read. I find it easier to see something unedited, without animations or something I wouldn't see in real life...I shoot one takes so I can record and re-watch more games rules sooner! New videos recorded so please subscribe to discover something. To support the channel, please consider subscribing to see the videos of newly filmed games first (many brand new games on their way). Please follow www.instagram.com/amassgames ) 1,000 posts in three months(!) for plays at pubs, events etc, thanks! https://www.facebook.com/amassgames2019/ #amassgames #boardgame #boardgames #boardgaming #tabletop #tabletopgame #tabletopgames #boardgameaddict #juegosdemesa #jeuxdesociete #boardgamegeek #brettspiele #analoggames #boardgamenight #bgg #spiel #boardgamesofinstagram #boardgamrcollection #shelfie #boardgamecommunity #sologamer #tabletopgamer #boardgamephotos #eurogamer #eurogame #brettspieler #essen #gencon #boardgame #boardgames #unboxing #unboxings #review #how #to #how-to #howto #walkthrough #tabletop #cards #games #weighing #weight #gamers #amassgames #amass #SPIEL #SPIEL.digital #dicetower #dice #euro #vasel #shut #up #and #sit #down #tomvasel #legacy #gloomhaven #asmodee #top #top10 #list #top #10 #list #played #most #played #hotness #bgg #boardgamegeek #howtoplay #board #games #top50 #bga #gamefound #wingspan #analogue #susd #boardgamearena #kickstarter #ks #devir #mazescape

About Samurai, from BoardGameGeek:

Samurai is set in medieval Japan. Players compete to gain the favor of three factions: samurai, peasants, and priests, which are represented by helmet, rice paddy, and Buddha figures scattered about the board, which features the islands of Japan. The competition is waged through the use of hexagonal tiles, each of which help curry favor of one of the three factions - or all three at once! Players can make lightning-quick strikes with horseback ronin and ships or approach their conquests more methodically. As each figure (helmets, rice paddies, and Buddhas) is surrounded, it is awarded to the player who has gained the most favor with the corresponding group. Gameplay continues until all the symbols of one type have been removed from the board or four figures have been removed from play due to a tie for influence. At the end of the game, players compare captured symbols of each type, competing for majorities in each of the three types. Ties are not uncommon and are broken based on the number of other, "non-majority" symbols each player has collected. The game is part of what is sometimes called the Knizia tile-laying trilogy.
