Shogun Optional Rules

If you're of a certain generation, you may know this game as Milton Bradley's "Shogun." Slightly younger gamers will remember it as "Samurai Swords." And the youngest among you have probably only heard of "Ikusa!" 

All three are the same game, played on the same map of Japan (but with slightly different artwork). When we play this game in the club, we're fond of using a number of fan-made updates and house rules. The optional rules we enjoy are available here as a free PDF. The event cards are probably our single favorite optional rules, as they add a ton of flavor and new depth to the gameplay!

An idea for house rules. Add a Portuguese Trading Ship. The function of the Trading Ship would be used to block sea lanes for one turn. That is, Armies could not use that sea lane to move across. The Trading Ship would be acquired just as the Ninja is acquired -- bidding for the ship.
