Tanto Cuore

Tanto Cuore is a Japanese deckbuilder in the Dominion family, with a cheeky twist: you are the lord of a mansion and your cards are maids. Start with a small household, buy better maids and love cards to grow your deck, and the player with the most victory points wins. Private maids stay in play and use their abilities every turn, while others give bonuses or make life harder for your rivals, for instance by making their maids ill. The art is anime-style maid cosplay, which is part of the charm and the reason it is rated for older teenagers and adults. If you know Dominion, you will settle in immediately. Two to four players, about forty-five minutes.
