Who it's for

Strategy veterans who enjoy asymmetric faction war games and don't mind investing a full evening in one match.

Not for you if…

Steer clear if you want a light or quick game night, or if your group struggles with rules-heavy asymmetric setups – this one takes real commitment to learn and play.

Vibe's take

Dense and combative – long, tense turns of bidding and positioning that reward patient strategy over quick wins.

About this game

Tsukuyumi: Full Moon Down drops five wildly asymmetric factions onto a post-apocalyptic Earth where the Moon itself has crashed into the Pacific and awakened as a vengeful dragon god. Soldiers, mutated boars, cybernetic samurai, insect swarms, and dragon-slaying knights fight for territory and survival across a modular board, with victory points earned through conquest and faction-specific missions.
