#Samurai Samurai is a turn-based strategy game, like Battle Isle, Advanced Wars or WeeWar.
The goal is to make Samurai a cross-platform game, meaning we have one web API and then multiple clients that uses it. Clients could be WP7, iOS, HTML5 (Web), PC, OSX - basically what ever we have contributors for.
Choosing a turn-based game simplifies the game loop and client/server communications, which reduces issues with high latency clients (phones). Current game mechanics discussion
