About this app

Outsmart your rivals in Samurai, the acclaimed strategy board game by Reiner Knizia!

Compete for influence in feudal Japan, outmaneuver your opponents, and fight for control of rice, religion, and military power. Every move matters in this timeless battle of strategy and cunning.

Play your way:

- Challenge the AI: Face opponents with different tactics and personalities across three difficulty levels.

- Play with friends: Compete with up to three other players in private matches or public games.

- Your pace, your game: Play turn-based games asynchronously or compete in real time.

Easy to learn, challenging to master, Samurai rewards clever planning and tactical thinking. Every match brings new challenges and opportunities to outsmart your rivals.

Can you master the strategy and claim dominance over Japan?

Method and limits

What this report can and cannot show

What a missing label means

Not yet tested. No analysis has been published for this app, so there is no method to describe for it yet. A missing label is not a clean bill of health: it means nothing has been read, not that nothing is wrong.

Limits of this report

  • A package scan is static. It identifies code and text in one Android build. It does not measure a live ad session, test a deletion request, or count the steps needed to cancel.
  • Reviews keep their sample. A review-only charge shows distinct reviewers, the share and the sample size, and is published only once it clears that label’s published threshold. Calibration labels are machine-drafted and not yet confirmed by a person.
  • Not assessed is a state. It is never a zero and never a pass.
  • A missing label is not a clean bill of health. It means the evidence did not support one, not that the app is problem-free.
Not yet human-reviewed. A human review gives an app hands-on, recorded measurements. None has been run for this app. Hands-on inspections are not yet open.
