About Tatsu
Officially licensed version of the new board game by award-winning designer John Yianni!
Japanese legend tells of a great battle between two mighty Dragon Lord armies, locked in combat on the peaks of Mount Hotaka, competing to win the hand of the Princess Kushinada, the last and most beautiful of eight sisters. A battle so ferocious, that the villagers fearing for their lives, acquire the help of a powerful Wizard, who casts a spell over the Dragon Lords to keep them imprisoned in a circle of combat and to be freed only at the battle's end. Their struggle continues to this very day, even though the Princess and their fateful story have long passed into legend.

If you like backgammon its an ok game. not many players though.3 found this helpful
👍
The game is simple and fun. I'd especially recommend it to backgammon players who are looking for something a little different.
Great variant of backgammon where rather than a race to the end your pieces battle around in a circle and your goal is to hit your opponent's off the board. The presentation is pretty barebones but the game plays fine and the AI seems to provide a decent challenge. The game is really simple though so check up the rules to see if you think it's something you might enjoy (it plays exactly the same as the tabletop boardgame version). Many of the negative reviews are from people who complain that the AI cheats with favourable dicerolls; this is just confirmation bias (how many people have complained that the shuffler is rigged in Magic Online / Hearthstone for example...)
Seems a faithful adaptation, however the manipulation of probabilities ruins the entire thing.
I have not played it against other players, but solitaire against the hard difficulty is great fun. Please note that occasionally the game changes the remaining die after you play the first one, but this rarely happens. The AI is fairly skillful.
