Legend of the Five Rings is a collectible card game that’s been around since 1995. While it never became as popular as Magic, it does have some very interesting and deeper gameplay that has kept it alive and popular.
From the AEG website:
Welcome to Legend of the Five Rings, where honor is a force more powerful than steel.
Legend of the Five Rings (L5R) is a world of heroic samurai, elemental priests, and sharp-minded courtiers.
Sworn to one of nine Clans, each with its own unique philosophy on warfare, you will pit your wits against your rivals for the glory of your daimyo and the honor of victory. With an interactive storyline that advances each week, the decks you build and the tournaments you win can change the fortunes of your self, your Clan, even the Empire itself.
Celestial Edition is the exciting new base set for the Legend of the Five Rings CCG (collectible card game). The strategy, tactics, and strong Clan themes that are the hallmarks of L5R are in full evidence, and more accessible to new players than ever before. We have designed this 350+ card set to appeal to all players of L5R, from the campaign-hardened veteran to the samurai neophyte who is drawing his katana for the first time.
