Suicide L5R

From Legend of the Five Rings Rules

Suicide L5R is a format played using only boosters. Each player in the event has a single booster.

[edit] Stronghold

You play a stronghold (Shiro No Name) with the following stats:
5 Province Strength
5 Gold Production
5 Starting Honor

Shiro No Name has no traits or abilities.

[edit] Clan Alignment

You are your own Clan and all Personalities in your deck are aligned to you in addition to printed alignments. You still lose honor for Shadowlands cards, but you receive an in-Clan discount (as opposed to normal L5R, where Shadowlands is not a Clan).

[edit] Rounds

Find another player that is at Round 1. Open a booster pack, keeping the cards face down sort into Fate and Dynasty. Put the Koku into the collection bin. Shuffle each. Roll off for starting player.

For each round a military win is taking all the opponents Provinces, for other wins:
Round 1: 15 honor, 1 ring or -10 honor
Round 2: 20 honor, 2 rings or -15 honor
Round 3: 30 honor, 3 rings or -20 honor
Round 4: 40 honor, 4 rings or -20 honor

Each round you have a different number of Provinces and cards in starting hand:
Round 1: 2 provinces, 3 fate cards
Round 2: 3 provinces, 4 fate cards
Round 3: 4 provinces, 5 fate cards
Round 4: 4 provinces, 5 fate cards

The rounds do not have time limits and the highest number of rounds allowed is 4. In all rounds, if any deck is empty when drawing a card or refilling a Province is necessary, re-shuffle the discard and use the cards again. At the end of each game, the winner takes the loser's cards and combines them with his own, making a new deck. They then find someone else that has the same number of wins and they play off. There is no sequence to pairing players, just take whoever is finished and ready to play.
