Shogun Big Box includes the base game of Shogun and its expansion Shogun: Tenno's Court, as well as three small modules: Samurai, Military Leaders, and Chambers, with the latter two unique to this release.
With Samurai, each player receives a stack of cards showing progressively better bonuses. At the beginning of each round, if a player controls provinces in at least four regions, they reveal the next card in their stack and select one of the bonuses depicted on it. These bonuses include war chests, armies placed directly into the tower tray, rice, and victory points.
With Military Leaders, every player is given one military leader figure to place in one of their controlled provinces. A player's leader provides extra benefits for performing actions in their province, such as reducing the cost of buildings or providing extra resources when collecting rice or taxes. At the end of a player's turn, they move their leader to an adjacent province they control and leave a marker at the old location - if they don't control any provinces adjacent to where their leader is, they move their leader to any of their controlled provinces without leaving a marker behind. The more markers a player has on the board at the end of the game, the more points will be awarded! 3-5 Players, Age: 12+
