Alderac Entertainment Group has announced two new August products for their Legend of the Five Rings Collectible Card Game: the booster A Line in the Sand, and the multiplayer Siege: Heart of Darkness.
 
The next booster for L5R: Ivory Edition base set after the impending The Coming Storm release (see "'L5R: The Coming Storm'"), A Line in the Sand focuses on the militant build-up of the followers of the divided heirs.  Self-restraint and discretion are tested as tension mounts, and as tempers and temperatures rise in the summer heat, blood will flow in the name of Imperial succession.  This set will be heavily tied to events that will happen at the GenCon tournaments.
 
The L5R: A Line in the Sand set will include 156 cards including 56 Common, 50 Uncommon, and 50 Rare cards.  The Booster Display will contain 36 16-card packs.  Each pack will contain 10 common, 4 uncommon, 1 rare and 1 premium card.  There is a chance for a foil in very booster pack.  MSRP is $3.99 a pack.
 
Siege: Heart of Darkness is a new way to play multiplayer L5R, with 3 (or more) players taking the rolls of city defenders against a single adversary attacking with the Siege deck.  Defenders can use either the three decks included in the product, or use their own to defend the Second City from the dread Dark Naga forces.
 
The product contains 3 Ivory-legal pre-constructed decks, 1 pre-constructed Siege deck, 6 Territory cards, 12 Clock card, and a full color rules and story booklet.  MSRP is $34.99.
