The game lies dormant for years already with me in the cellar, as it is not easy to find players, but who has the rules once internalized, can have a lot of fun with it. Back then, we used 1-2 rounds until all rules made sense. But has then but met a group of five guys almost every weekend for weeks and played Shogun. The balance in the game is much better managed than in the original risk, thus it can happen as well, that takes a game by 10 hours. Too bad for those who may already be gone KO after 3 hours. I think it's time for a counter bearing or a Deluxe Edition.
