YOHEI is a strategy board game that combines Japanese folklore with battleground skirmishes. The Kickstarter campaign for the game launched today and GameTyrant received early access to a game prototype. The overview focuses on the tactical gameplay, and it provides a glimpse of what to expect in YOHEI.

Players will fight for control of a modular board with clans of powerful warriors. Dice, structures, event cards, and other components create a strategy experience in which players must manage their units on a small, tense battlefield. It’s a game of area control and combat.

It’s a board game that depends on patience and strategy, and players who enjoy the challenge of a combat-heavy tabletop experience like a miniatures game will find common ground in YOHEI.

If you’re interested in the game, the Kickstarter campaign is live.
