The game challenges you to replace the cards in your hand and on your personal tableau with new cards coming from a central river, and the trick is that you must respect their positioning. It's a strategic puzzle where every move counts. Beyond managing your cards, you can send emissaries to the board. These emissaries are key to unlocking new opportunities, reorganizing states, or even forcing your opponent into a trade that might not be in their best interest. This interaction adds a layer of tactics and bluffing, turning the game into an intelligent duel for two players. With an engaging Japanese theme and mechanics of hand management, open drafting, and pattern building, Naishi promises a compact yet decision-rich experience. Get ready to optimize your moves and outmaneuver your rival in pursuit of the most efficient state! ## FAQ ### What is the average playtime for a game of Naishi?
