 .

Introduction


Welcome brave Samurai, to the fields of battle. This documents is to advise you of the rules of dueling and combat in the world of Legend of the Five Rings' Drunken Master Tournament. 

 

Version 1 - Bring your Celestial legal deck and there are new funky rules for each round based on a mini-Status deck. The status deck will have 12 cards. Each of the following options will have two cards. Each round, after opponents are declared, one of the Status cards will be revealed and be active for that round. (That does mean that some option can come up twice and other may not come up at all).

 

Version 2 - The status deck will have one of each card, including a card that reads - This is a normal CE game (This option has been removed for II.I). Four - Five cards will be used in the tournament, each card only being used once. Many of the style names have been changed to CE card titles for favour!
