Shiki (2020)

About this game

Shiki is a card game with dice, an ideal combination for children who are entering the world of board games. Seasons cards are dealt: Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn. On each turn, one player rolls the die which will indicate the season in play: that player will discard all the cards that he has from that season and the rest of the players will discard a single card from that season. The first player to run out of cards advances one place on the board. The first player to cross the victory line is the winner.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 5.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 4 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
