Yōkai Yen?!!

Description

Leader Lulu and her Yōkai monster minions have squandered all their money betting on the Lucky Cat Fights. Are the salarymen to blame? In any case, a scapegoat is needed! A circle time, mediation… In this unusual and tactical card-shedding game, the first player to go broke wins. A quirky climbing card game where players try to get rid of their cards—but never see them. Instead, each player’s hand is managed by another player, and you must give instructions based on positions within a structured sorting system. On your turn, you instruct your “manager” to play single cards or sets that must beat the previous play. Incorrect plays result in penalties, while clever deductions and memory help you navigate your hidden hand. The first player to run out of cards wins—proving, in typical XOXO fashion, that they’ve been completely swindled. In the “XOXO Ludomatic Universe,” every game is part of an ongoing story. And we’re just getting started! —description from the publisher
