Yōkai
Silently peek and shuffle face-down tiles to group Japanese spirits by colour, from memory alone.

A quiet, cooperative memory game about calming Japanese spirits. Sixteen spirit tiles lie face-down in a grid; you take turns peeking at and moving one at a time, trying to gather each spirit family together, all without saying what you saw or clogging the table with hint cards.
Who it's for
Groups who enjoy calm, cooperative memory challenges and the discipline of coordinating without giving anything away.
Not for you if…
You have a poor memory or want an active, exciting game. The strict no-communication memory core can feel dry or stressful, and there is little to do on others' turns.
Vibe's take
A hushed, thoughtful memory challenge where the team must recall fleeting glimpses without ever speaking them.
