Inari's Judgement Review

Welcome to Bushido Cast! We are joined by lead GCT developer Jason and have a special preview of Inari's Judgement themed box. We discuss the lucky Kitsune tricksters and talk about how we could use the two themes from the new box (Followers of Inari, and infinite monkeys aka Minkan Densho) and what this may mean for Bastions of the Mountain and briefly even Ordered for Battle Temple of Ro Kan list! Better still, our discussion is informed by play testing experience so we hope we do the box 'justice'. Ps. Please allow for slight differences between our verbal articulation of rules, in cases based on testing profiles, and final cards. Gav's audio starts low for a few seconds, but then is resolved.
