Absolutely love Reiner Knizia Samurai  侍 and recently started playing it again Samurai online after a long absence. Very strategic abstract game.

There are buddhas, rice and high helmets you attempt to capture with your colored tokens by exetering your influence on them.  When a piece is completely surrounded you determine who has the most influence for each paticular piece to see who captures it.  Rather easy game to understand there is one swap pieces token and one reuse existing piece token.  Hardest part to fully understanding Samurai are the various winning conditions.  Basically whoever has two majorities wins but that’s not always going to happen.  If really interested in this game you can see my detailed overview which I wrote in 2006.
