Story time!
I thought I’d tell you the reason why we asked Emily Ryan to give the different fighters in Bushido Duels their own unique color scheme.
Was it a bold fashion statement? Or perhaps deep knowledge about the meaning of different colors and how they would match the characters’ personalities guided our decision?
No… sorry to disappoint… The reason behind it all stems from our playtesting days. The culprit: a d20 dice.
You see, in the beginning we used a d20 to keep track of the health of the fighters. The dice were available in different colors, naturally we thought it would be cool to have different color dice for the different fighters.
And booom* the idea of characters and dice with matching colors was born. 
We later on decided that a health tracker card was more user friendly (great idea Åke 
) and cost effective and thus the d20 idea was scrapped. But don’t be sad kids, their memory lives on in the color schemes of the fighters of Bushido Duels.**

** If the kids are still crying tell them that the dice also get to live on a farm to play and roll a natural 20 all the time.
