About this game

"1472: The Lost Samurai" is a solitaire, map-making, Roll-and-write boardgame focused on a realistic immersion into a narrative of the chaotic Sengoku Period in Japanese history. It's the 5th in my xx72 line of 1-page micro games. The game PDF consists of 1 (consumable) Player Sheet and 7 pages of rules and storyline, all in a black and white low ink format. It takes less than a minute to set up a game. You wash up upon The Island after a storm sinks your ship. You must now travel The Island becoming a Samurai and gaining Clues about the evil Shugodai in order to depose him before he can create his own kingdom. —description from the designer
