Bushido: Minimoto Profiles – Blacksmiths, Bears, and Special Cards

Blacksmiths Hauru Another model that confused me when I first jumped from Jung. He’s the “Leadership” Model, but he’s only 10 points?

Bushido: Jung Profiles – Misfits

Samemiman: Finally made it to the sharks! These guys are what sold me on the game and were a great lesson in what not to do in Bushido. Early games were frustrating because they never did what I wanted them to do. Eventually, I learned I had to play how they wanted, I couldn’t make
