About the game
If you already enjoy the mystical vibe of Bitoku, prepare your appetite because Resutoran is here to serve a banquet of new content! This expansion isn't a rigid block; it works through three independent modules. This means you decide the 'portion size' on the table: do you want just a taste with one module, or the full tasting menu with everything activated? The choice is yours, allowing you to adjust the game's complexity according to your group's preference.

On the component menu, we have new Iwakura rocks and Yokai cards that bring new strategic layers to your match. Additionally, the Kodama Lake gains three new types, diversifying interaction and scoring possibilities. But the real secret ingredient is the new deck of cards. Now, players can activate powerful effects during the game, allowing them to manipulate dice results — both their own and their opponents' — or secure a massive point boost that can flip the game in the final moments.

It's the perfect addition for those who feel the base game is already 'second nature' and want more tactical depth. Resutoran doesn't change the core essence of the game, but it adds layers of interaction and customization that make each session more dynamic. If you love long-term planning but also want tools to react to your opponents' moves, this expansion is the missing ingredient in your collection. Itadakimasu!

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need the base game to play?
Yes, Resutoran is an expansion and cannot be played standalone. You need Bitoku to use it.
I'm a beginner; can I use the expansion right away?
We strongly recommend learning the base game first. The expansion adds layers of complexity that might confuse those still grasping the core rules.
What are the modules?
They are parts of the expansion that you can add separately. You can use one, two, or all three, depending on how much depth you want in your game.
Does the expansion significantly change the playtime?
Since it's modular, it depends on what you add, but generally, analysis time may increase slightly due to the new options.
Are the effect cards too powerful?
They are potent, especially the dice manipulation, making the game more interactive and less predictable.
