About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for a game experience that will hook you from start to finish with 呪箱 (Curse Box)! Once the box is opened, there's no turning back – the only way out is to pass the curse forward. This is a fast-paced and tension-filled card game where the objective is simple, but the execution is anything but easy: get rid of your cursed cards! Players take turns placing cards into the box, trying to reduce their own hand. But beware, the curse is cunning! The game ends abruptly when four spaces in the box are filled, and the player with the fewest cards in hand at that moment is declared the winner. Otherwise, the curse returns to haunt whoever couldn't get rid of it. With an intriguing mix of horror and a good dose of psychological battle, 呪箱 (Curse Box) promises quick decisions and plenty of interaction in games that last only between 10 and 20 minutes. It's perfect for those moments when you want a dose of excitement without committing too much time.
