Its bright walls and curved rooftops rise up - a majestic heron made from stone and plaster and wood, poised to take flight from the rolling green fields of Hyogo in Harima Province. Himeji Castle, Shirasagi-jo, the white heron castle, is the center of power and culture for the region.

Your clan has a plan to gain favor and influence with the Daimyo but many rivals vie for attention across all levels of life at the castle. Gardeners cultivate the grounds, soldiers train at the nearby school, and courtiers forge alliances and swap favors within the halls of the ruling class. Each family member you place has an important role to play. Develop your domain by selecting dice from bridges and using card actions from the castle and surrounding lands to help your clan rise to prominence.
