Set in the immersive world of Rokugan, players lead one of seven Great Clans in battles of honor and political intrigue. With 45-90 minute playtime and a dynamic Living Card Game format, it offers deep tactical gameplay and ongoing expansion potential, making it the definitive starting point for fans of competitive, story-driven card games. ## Description Legend of the Five Rings: The Card Game is a player-influenced Living Card Game that sees two players take on the role of one of the seven Great Clans of Rokugan, vying for military and political control while maintaining Rokugan society’s strict code of honor. Each player commands their forces with two separate decks: a dynasty deck fills their provinces with characters and holdings while a conflict deck consisting of tactics, maneuvers, followers, and attachments is used to turn the tide in a struggle for supremacy. During a game, players will engage in conflicts, both political and military based, with the goal of breaking their opponent’s strongholds and winning the game. But the rules of society are absolute, and even in the fire of battle and heat of Rokugan’s courts, clans must remember the tenets of Bushido, lest they lose everything in their single-minded pursuit of glory. The Legend of the Five Rings: The Card Game Core Set comes with everything a player needs to explore the seven great clans of Rokugan, the Crab Clan, Crane Clan, Dragon Clan, Lion Clan, Phoenix Clan, Scorpion Clan, and Unicorn Clan. It also includes a variety of tokens, cards, and rule sheets that make the Core Set the definitive starting point for Legend of the Five Rings: The Card Game. Review: Might Be My Favorite Game - I have all of the FFG competitive LCGs besides Call of Cthulu, and FFG LCGs are some of my favorite games at this point. This game is great to me and has the potential to knock off my favorite game. For ~15 bucks, it's worth picking up 3 copies of this core set and you will get one of the best core set experiences out of any FFG LCG. It's amazing! I could easily put down 100 games with just 3 core sets. Highly recommend to those who like 2 player card games. MSRP for this back in the day was probably ~$35-40. You can get 3 of them for about the price of 1. Review: Great game, typical FF short lived. - This is a great game. Played it several times now. to bad it was distributed by FF. They are getting a rep for their short lived licensed product the days. ## Features - ENTER THE VIBRANT WORLD OF ROKUGAN: The Emerald Empire of Rokugan. It is a land upheld by honor, guided by fate, ruled by destiny. The Great Clans each support the Emperor, but inter-clan conflict is inevitable—both in the Emperor’s courts and on the battlefield. In the midst of danger and turmoil, honor must be your sword and your armor. - A LIVING CARD GAME OF HONOR AND CONFLICT: Join the Great Clans, uphold the tenets of Bushidō, and fulfill your duty to your daimyō and the Emperor in a world shaped and changed by a dynamic, player-influenced story. During the game, you take on the leadership of one of the Great Clans which define Rokugani society, and you are cast into conflict against another clan. - STRATEGY GAME: Your conflicts will decide the future of Rokugan, whether you’re battling with a katana or with cutting words, but the samurai of your clan cannot remain by your side indefinitely—when their destinies are fulfilled, you must find new allies to continue your conflicts. Ultimately, it’s your choice whether you will fight with honor or use unsavory means, but in every game, it is your role to lead your clan to victory. - CORE SET: This set comes with everything a player needs to explore the seven great clans of Rokugan, the Crab Clan, Crane Clan, Dragon Clan, Lion Clan, Phoenix Clan, Scorpion Clan, and Unicorn Clan. It also includes a variety of tokens, cards, and rule sheets that make this the definitive starting point for the Legend of the Five Rings: The Card Game. - NUMBER OF PLAYERS AND AVERAGE PLAYTIME: This immersive strategy card game for adults and teens is made for 2 players and is suitable for ages 14 and older.

More specifically, many sellers will mark the shipping as free but include a small markup in the price to cover the cost. Overall the price is typically cheaper than MSRP plus standard shipping. **Q: Has anyone played with more than two people?** A: Currently the multi-player rules are still in beta. The gist of how it works with more than two is the object of the game then becomes about collecting all five rings. You can find the multi-player beta rules here: https://images-cdn.fantasyflightgames.com/filer_public/98/5b/985b43d5-41b3-41e7-b4b3-7021a5c152c4/enlightenment_rules.pdf **Q: Is the core set enough for two players or do each player need to buy their own core set?** A: Yes, one Core set is enough for two people to play two different clans at a time. However, you would need to get two Core sets to create a “Tournament” legal deck, and three Core sets will get you 3 of every clan card in the set and 6 of every neutral cards. **Q: How many cards are in the set total? I want to buy storage binders for them.** A: 250 cards in total, well 247 to be exact! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Might Be My Favorite Game *by S***Y on March 8, 2022* I have all of the FFG competitive LCGs besides Call of Cthulu, and FFG LCGs are some of my favorite games at this point.

It's far from simple. After investing the time it takes to learn the game. Its complexity makes your options seem limitless. You will need to buy more than just the core set. But if you buy a core set and a clan pack you're ready to play. ## Frequently Bought Together - Legend of the Five Rings LCG Core Set - Fantasy Flight Games Legend of The Five Rings: The Card Game Children of The Empire Premium Expansion - Strategy Game for Kids & Adults, Ages 14+, 2 Players, 45-90 Minute Playtime, Made - Fantasy Flight Games Legend of the Five Rings LCG: Underhand of the Emperor --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/47859351-legend-of-the-five-rings-lcg-core-set](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/47859351-legend-of-the-five-rings-lcg-core-set) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-06-09*
