   It will take you awhile to get the hang of it. But it’s similar to risk. The figures are so cool! This is a fun game!

   Bonjour,
   Expérience frustrante, jeu sublime y a rien à redire. (mécanique qualité etc)
   Juste l impression de mettre fait avoir puisque le jeu était en anglais… (inconfort de jeu important) et vu le prix payé, cela est d’autant plus frustrant… alors que toutes la commande c est faite en français… aucune alerte rien…
   Car les règles ça s impriment en français mais les cartes, les panneaux non et tout le monde dans mon entourage n est pas aussi à l aise que moi en anglais…
   Vraiment frustré…

   Wow, what does this game not have? Dice rolling is about all I can think of. There is conbat, area control, alliances, betrayal and AWESOME miniatures. These things POP. It is a fairly easy game to pick up and will keep you busy for about 90 minutes to 2 hours with 4-5 players. The dynasty invasion expansion can add a 6th to the mix. The game is split into three seasons and each season’s actions are controlled by the players. Maybe there will be more training (buying cards/monsters), maybe more movement, maybe even a betrayal or two. Its up to the players as each draw four tiles and choose one before each action/turn. Great fun with a great oriental theme!

   Risin sun è un gioco sul quale sono stati spesi fiumi di parole e sono state girate ore di recensioni su Youtube quindi ogni altra informazione è superfula.
   Mi limito a dire che è completamente in Inglese, eccellente qualità dei materiali e superba qualità e dettaglio delle miniature.
   E’ adatto a chi predilige una elevata componente di ragionamento nei giochi poichè non ci sono praticamente “eventi” casuali come lancio di dadi o pescate fortunose di carte. Ciononostante non è un gioco difficile, va un attimo capito con un partita di prova. La componente sociale è importante quindi giocatole con gruppi che non disdegnao contrattare, forgiare alleanze e compiere tradimenti

   Is worth every dollar paid. Beautiful desings. Georgeus details, everything is just perfect. Will need a big table to play it on with my family.

   Great game! Even you need minimum of 3 players to start the game, and it still very fun and enjoyable to play. I also received the package has no damage at all, thanks boardgamesweekly.com.

   O jogo está impecável, numa boa caixa. A única coisa que mudaria era adicionar umas indicações para facilitar a arrumação das figuras após jogo.
   

8. What to Know! Rising Sun Board Game Verified Buyer – 27 March 2025

   I want to start by saying, I love this game. I played it twice with some friends at a game shop before deciding to purchase it for home use. It’s very tactical and multidimensional and actually fairly simple after you read the rules, which I do admit took some time to read aloud and understand with some friends, maybe 30 minutes to an hour to get a good grasp and a few glances back at the rules during gameplay for clarification. With that being said, the product came in a fairly damaged package, like the tape was mostly ripped open, but the actual game box was in good condition and seemed to be brand new. This was not the case. Now to the main reason this review is rated so low. Upon closer inspection, one of the Monsters was severely damaged. Mind you, I understand shipping issues happen that can cause product damaged, and many times it’s not the fault of the company who sells the product. This was not the case. The Monster’s head had a clear break point all the way around (shown in the pictures) and was very clearly glued back together, then shipped placed back in the box and resealed with other, possibly new, pieces. I don’t see how this could be the actions of anyone else other than the product developers or possibly distributors. The game is still playable, the product still looks mostly like it should unless you look closely, but this is just upsetting. I’m not sure I’ll be buying from this company again.

   I’ll let others wax poetic on the game itself, I readily admit that I bought this for the exquisite, detailed miniatures which I do paint and collect. These are amazing models at any price. The sculpts are great, the casting in well done and I am very happy with my purchase. At MSRP these are about $1.72 each and well worth it. The game can be found a bit cheaper here and is an even better deal.
   I’d compare the level of detail on these minis to the fine work you can find over at CreatureCaster. Those are amazing, but cost quite a bit more.
   TLDR: Looking for some amazing Asian-inspired miniatures to paint or for a campaign? Look no further. 58 very well-sculpted minis with more than 20 of them being quite large!

   30 Bushi Figures
   15 Shinto Figures
   5 Daimyo
   8 Monster Figures

    Great game. Very involved table top with a political system that keeps it interesting. I’d recommend this to novice area control gamers looking to get people more interested in the genre. Detail to the figures is excellent and design overall is drenched in futile Japan. You’ll feel like an emperor in no time, and then realize there is quite a bit I’d strategy involved to running an empire. Honor is a great tie breaking mechanism leaving no ties for any scenario. I’d recommend but only if you are familiar with area control or other Eric Lang games (very similar to Blood Rage with battle mechanics).

    Even if you’re not you can still politic your way to victory through alliances. Ride someone else’s coat tails and then betray them and try to get the win.

    There is multiple strategy approaches to this game and they all are correct.

    Game is very fun, highly suggest it. A handful of the pieces were distorted and bent. But otherwise no complaints. Worth the price.
