I was reading over Jonathan Lavallee’s Wind on the Path from Codex–Iron, and I’m trying to understand how many can play. In some places it says two players, but there are references to others playing and new opponents. Has anyone played this? Does the game work with more than two? Can Lead Duelist be established at each meet? Thanks.

Yes! I have played that with Jason Cordova and we enjoyed it. It’s a two player game, but can be played tournament style where the survivor of the fight keeps going on until they have either died or succeeded in a specified number of fights (I can’t remember the exact number). It would be perfect for a party night with gamers or a convention. It plays quick with minimal prep and equipment needed. Does that answer your question?

Thanks, I think I’m getting it. So if you duel your opponent, both survive could you duel others before meeting again? Or must one of you advance, tournament style, first?

It’s a two-player game in the sense that the rules apply to two players whose samurai are having a duel at that moment. And, in fact, if you just had one friend to play with, you would duel them once and that would be the end of it. The idea, though, is you take the game to a convention or some other space, pass out copies of the playbooks and move sheet, and then as you guys run into each other throughout the day or weekend, you pull out your samurai (if they are still alive), talk about what has been revealed on your sheet, and then duel.
I don’t think “tournament” is quite the right way of looking at it, because in both the fiction of the game and the way the game is meant to be played, you’re just “wandering” until you run into another duelist.
I don’t think you’d want to duel the same person twice in a row. That would kind of defeat the point of the revealed information rules, since you don’t always leave everything on your sheet revealed after a duel, but your opponent would know even if you don’t have the “revealed” box marked.

Awesome, thanks! That makes a lot of sense. It was the first sentence of the game and the line, “once both characters are created,” that through me off. But everything else fits with the explanation.
