Shamizan - Arukan's Most Popular Game!


The Shamizon Deluxe Edition set comes with everything you see here.
The Shamizan Standard Edition set comes with everything but the book.
...One afternoon, Jashemi asked Kevla, "Can you play Shamizan?"

"What is Shamizan?"

Jashemi's eyes lit up. "Oh, it's so much fun! Let me go get my set--" He rose and ran out of the hut, returning only a few moments later, flushed and out of breath. Kevla suspected he had run the entire way. Hardly proper behavior for a future khashim, but it was good to see Jashemi so happy.

"It's easy to learn...."

Easy to learn, hard to stop, Kevla thought. At one point, she looked up from the board and saw Jashemi regarding her with an intent gaze. His face dissolved into delight as he she ducked her head and smiled.

"You like the game, then?"

"Oh, yes, very much."

"I am so glad. I hoped you would...."

This is the playing field with pieces - up to five people can play! The board in play is a colorful thing and check out the cool spiral dice!

Shamizan is a game that is a true labor of love. This is no mass-produced item; each set has been entirely created and assembled by myself and my friends and family, right down to the hand-painted stones and the personally handcrafted clay markers for the Clans. Shamizan represents a whole new way to experience the world of Arukan. I hope you enjoy it, and enjoy reading the novel it is based on-On Fire's Wings by Christie Golden, from LUNA Books! For more information, visit www.luna-books.com."


These are the playing pieces representing five clans of Arukan. The markers are hand made by a potter friend of ours and the pieces are all hand painted! Clans from left to right are: Horserider Clan, Star Clan, Sandcattle Clan, Sa'abah Clan, and The Clan of Four Waters.

This is not just for fun, this is for real—you can own this game!

For the Standard Set, which does not include the book, the cost is $25 plus $6 shipping and handling.

The Deluxe set, which includes an autographed copy of the book, costs $38 plus $6 S&H.

You also have the option of purchasing a special scented oil crafted exclusively to commemorate the publication of the book. It’s a blend of sandalwood, patchouli and (appropriately enough) Dragon’s Blood. The oil costs $6 and can be added to any set.
