	Description Edit \| History

Samurai - the Card Game simulates the board game by placing cities on the board and then allowing each player to play one of their 5 cards from their hands. A city is considered surrounded when 4 cards surround the sides. A new city is placed when two different players cards create a location for it to be placed.
