Legend of the Burning Sands
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Legend of the Burning Sands is a collectible card game (CCG) published by Five Rings Publishing Group (FRPG, then a subsidiary of Wizards of the Coast) in 1997. It was a spin-off from the earlier CCG Legend of the Five Rings. Legend of the Burning Sands was set in the same fictional world as Legend of the Five Rings, with a few characters appearing in both games. Both games had similar mechanics and emphasised a continuing storyline.
The first three Legend of the Burning Sands sets were released under FRPG's experimental "Rolling Thunder" scheme, which emphasized small, regular releases of cards. The Rolling Thunder distribution mechanism proved to be unpopular, however, so the game was put on hiatus. It was approximately two years until the game's massive conclusion set was released, by which point interest in the game had faded significantly.
