Description

Step into Power and Intrigue with Into the Forbidden City!

Will you serve the Emperor—or use his court to serve yourself?
Into the Forbidden City is the third Dynasty Pack in the Imperial Cycle for Legend of the Five Rings: The Card Game. Set in the political heart of Rokugan, this expansion brings new depth to courtly strategy, Imperial influence, and clan ambition.

Want to play the court like a battlefield? This pack is your path to mastering politics and prestige in the heart of Otosan Uchi.

With 60 cards (three copies each of 20 new cards), this pack focuses on the Imperial Capital and those who wield power behind the throne. You’ll find neutral samurai loyal to the Imperial family, powerful magistrates from every clan, and new mechanics that reward you for claiming and holding the Imperial Favor.

Whether you’re strengthening your clan’s political control or asserting military dominance with the Emperor’s blessing, Into the Forbidden City enhances both themes and tactics. It’s perfect for players who love layered strategy, honour manipulation, and bold, courtly play.

Play your cards right, sway the court in your favour, and prove your clan deserves the Emperor’s trust—or his fear.
