About the game

What you do in a play session

ナナイロアジサイ (Ajisai) is an abstract game as colorful as it is strategic, where you compete to 'paint' a hydrangea with your colors. Here's how it works: each player has specific colors, and on your turn, you place a flower piece on the board. The fun comes when colors interact - certain combinations make pieces change owners, just like in Othello! The game ends when the board is completely filled, and whoever has the most pieces of their color wins. The color rotation mechanic adds layers of strategy - you can plan moves that cause domino effects on opponents' colors. With simple rules but deep decisions, it's perfect for quick matches between friends or introducing kids to strategy games. The vibrant hydrangea visuals make the experience even more delightful.
