The great Kami have returned to feudal Japan, and they are not pleased with the current Shōgun. As spring arrives, the Kami gather their sacred clans to reclaim the lands of Nippon and restore their spiritual traditions. Each clan has its own vision for this mission, leading to a game filled with alliances, betrayals, and strategic warfare across eight provinces. Players take on the role of Shōguns, competing to earn Victory Points through battles, political actions, and honor.

In Rising Sun, 3 to 5 players choose unique clans, each with special abilities and starting conditions. The game unfolds over four Seasons, with players negotiating alliances, engaging in battles, and making political decisions to strengthen their position. Honor plays a crucial role, impacting advantages during the game and determining outcomes in ties. With a mix of diplomacy, strategy, and negotiation, players will navigate the complexities of their clans as they strive for victory when winter arrives.
