## Description
Get ready for a stone-polishing showdown in ISHIMIGAKI, a deck-building game that promises to get you on edge! Here, the big question is: will you work on your stones right away, or keep them on your workbench for continuous improvements? But beware, because an opponent might throw a stone at your workbench and crash it! The goal is to be the first to craft a shiny stone, and to do that, you'll need sandpaper and the ability to discard two identically ranked stone cards. It's a race against time and your rivals to see who achieves maximum shine first. The game challenges you to build an efficient deck, acquiring new tool cards that offer advantages like increased efficiency, income generation, or, of course, the option to disrupt other players. Yes, you can throw weaker stones at other players' workbenches, adding that touch of 'take that' that we love! Managing your hand, planning your purchases, and deciding the right moment to attack or defend are crucial for victory. Who will be the master stone polisher?
