Who it's for

Groups from six years upward who enjoy escalating chaos and don't mind losing track of the rules on purpose.

Not for you if…

You want a stable ruleset, or find memory games and constant rule changes stressful rather than funny.

Vibe's take

Fast and delightfully overwhelming – the rules pile up faster than anyone can track, and the table's collective memory failure is the joke.

About this game

A fifteen-minute memory duel where samurai drive attacking Yōkai back onto rival lands, and the spirits' curses bolt a new rule onto the game almost every single turn.
