One of the hot new games featured at AEG's booth this year was Ninja: Legend of the Scorpion Clan. Set in the world of L5R, this is the first in what the company hopes to be a series of lighter L5R board games. Their hope is to create more titles, pitting different clans against one another. I was personally excited to try this as I have been interested in L5R culture, but found breaking into the card game challenging to say the least. With the lack of a good set of rules, it appears that only those who have friends already fluent in the language of L5R can really learn the ins and outs of the popular trading card game. This new set of board games is perfect for entering the samurai world of L5R....

Can I +1 your post lol. Not sure this doesn't violate the rules? If not it should. Linking to blogs seems a bit against the spirit of what we are doing here.

You're probably right, but it definitely happens a lot here, even by some of the respected old guard: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/blog/82/opinionated-gamers-blog

I was more offended that there was no value there except to learn that our first game will take longer than the box says. shake

Thank you for the advice. I was not sure what the best way to approach this was, so I looked at what other bloggers had done and followed suit. I am happy to write more here, just wasn't sure if it would be overkill.
