RARE Vintage Samurai Blades Board Game, 1984 edition Made in England, Very good , Feudal War games, store Collectible war games, China Galore

RARE 1984 Samurai Blades Board Game of man to man combat in feudal Japan.
Highly collectible and no others like it found.

The game comes in the original box which is in good condition with minor discoloration and wear as well as one half-inch break at one corner (lower left corner)
The contents as listed on the box are as follows and the only anomaly i found is the the dice is 10 sided (not 20) and the only reference to the dice said it was not used only in combat moves to give a chance factor and yields a score of 1 to 10. I believe the 20 sided dice was a misprint on the box based on what i read in the supplemental materials.

The set includes the following list on the box.
Large full colour character counters
2 large terrain maps printed on bright yellow as shown in photos
Historical background booklet
Scenario Booklet
Playsheets...THREE are included. If you need a fourth, a copy on cardstock would work just fine.
Rules Booklet
1 20 sided dice (ACTUAL dice is 10 sided and ONE is included)
Ninja
Assasination
Night Fighting
Hari Kari

The game was published as a stand alone game and is designed for two players. Appears that up to 4 can play but two was the design.

From the Beginners Guide overview, text is borrowed and credit is given to the maker of the game. Standard Games and Publications LTD England
"Samurai Blades is a simple game which recreates warfare in feudal Japan. Two players or Two teams control counters which represent men and move them over a map which represents terrain. The Village of the White Dragon and The Temple. "
