Kitsune (2022)

About this game

They say they have seen the beautiful kitsune in the forest: Let's go find them to win their friendship! Only those with luck on their side will be able to find them. If you risk enough, you might get to see the little foxes, but if you approach them carelessly... you can scare them away and you'll lose them! In addition, the mischievous Oni are always hanging around, to change everything with their pranks. The objective of the game is to collect 3 kitsune of each color (Red, Blue and Yellow), if 2 to 4 players play. For 5 and 6 players you must collect 2 kitsune of each color. If at the end of your turn you have the required number of foxes, you win immediately. To do this you must reveal cards trying not to repeat any color. At any time you can stop and resolve the cards in any order you choose: Kitsune help you win. Renewal cards allow you to draw cards from other players Prosperity cards help you protect your little foxes Oni cards are played instantly to help or harm others.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.5/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
