Trial of Juozaka

Description

In 十王坂の審理 (Trial of Juozaka), you’ve died and must stand before the Ten Kings of the underworld. This competitive card game challenges players to accumulate virtue while navigating shifting judgments that threaten to drag them into hell. Earn the most virtue points and survive the trials to claim victory. On your turn, choose one of four actions: draw a virtue card, accumulate matching virtue cards to score, clear a judgment by discarding cards that meet its conditions and earning powerful lucky card effects, or exchange cards with another player. As each judgment is cleared, the next King’s trial begins, raising the stakes and changing the requirements. The game ends when pp0090.King Enma’s sixth judgment is cleared or when the virtue deck runs out. Players total their accumulated virtue, but any karma cards left in hand subtract from the score. Only the most virtuous soul will pass judgment unscathed.
