In the 16th century, Japan began trading with the West after the arrival of Portuguese merchants and Jesuit missionaries. Himeji Castle, a symbol of feudal power, was a strategic enclave where exotic goods arrived that soon altered the balance of power between the clans. In The White Castle: Duel, two clans compete for influence over Himeji's court and Daimyo. Whoever gets the most points at the end of the game will be the winner!
