About the game

What you do in a play session

In Gasha, you embark on a nostalgic adventure, simulating the thrill of turning the crank of a capsule machine and hoping to get the desired toy. But here, instead of figurines, you're after Gasha cards that will be the key to your victory. The objective is simple: be the player with the most points at the end of the game, and for that, you'll need a good strategy to collect the right sets and take advantage of bonuses. Each turn offers a crucial choice: you can try your luck and draw two new Gasha cards, increasing your options and perhaps finding that rare item, or you can be more pragmatic and trade the cards you already have for a reward card. These rewards not only add precious points to your collection but also function as 'ticket halves.' By collecting two of these halves, you earn a bonus token, which can be a game-changer in the final scoring. The game continues at this dynamic pace of drawing cards and completing sets until the bonus token pile runs out or all reward cards have been collected. In the end, it's the sum of your collection, bonus, and Gasha points that will determine the grand winner. Gasha is a light and fun game, perfect for those looking for a quick experience with a touch of luck, where every decision can lead to forming the perfect set or desperately searching for that last missing card.
