Duel (TCG)

Duels in Rokugan were stylized engagements, usually fought to settle disputes that could not be put to rest with words alone. While they were fought between individuals, the fate of whole families, clans, or the entire realm might ride on a duel. There were duels to First Strike or First Blood, to the Death, to Incapacitation, or to Defeat. Legend of the Five Rings - Roleplaying, p. 258 Beginner Game: Rulebook, p. 33 A samurai who lost a duel to the death but survived by some cruel twist of fate or the intervention of others was generally expected to end their own life. The katana was the preferred duelist's weapon, but a duel could be fought with any weapon. Shugenja generally fought with invocations and supernatural weapons while monks often fought duels unarmed, but they sometimes fought with staves or other weapons.
