Courtier • Love Letter • Orator

Courtesy: After you Recruit Takato, gain 1 Honor. (Courtesy traits do not take effect if you went first.)

Interrupt: After you Recruit Takato, discard a card to make a target player discard a random card. Each of you may put the other's card in your hand.

The Nakodo always knows best.

The love letter characters making it into the game tickles me pick something fierce.

Design wise I am liking the courtesy mechanic. It is oft said that going second is a huge drawback. I'm hoping this will go a long way toward catching up.

This guy aint half bad

This may be a noob question, but I never played with my opponent's cards before: Do you resleeve the card?

What if a card effect asks you to pick a card at random? It's not really random if I can see my sleeve there.

Its fine to have a different colored card in your hand in a situation like this. It wouldn't be a marked card unless it got shuffled in to your deck for some reason.

Or roll a die.

Pretty nifty for Seppun Tasuke Sensei deck... can potentially earn you two Affection tokens - one directly if you guessed/knew right and another when you discard your opponents card for Favor an it goes back to his discard pile.
