Neko Syndicate

Get ready to enter the feline underworld of Mininogata in Neko Syndicate! Here, the control of sushi production and distribution rests in the paws of rival clans, all eyeing the succession of the old Kumichō. You'll lead one of these mafia cat clans, showing who has the best strategy to please the supreme leader and inherit his raw fish empire. The game challenges you to build an efficient chain of command, represented by a pyramidal card structure that acts as your personal board and action tree. With limited action points each turn, you'll need to be clever to cook the perfect sushi and deliver it to the right zones, fulfilling prestige-scoring missions. You have only 15 rounds to prove your worth and accumulate the maximum points, so every move counts! Neko Syndicate is the kind of game that deceives: it seems simple and fast (easy setup, simultaneous play, around 30 minutes), but it hides a tactical depth that will make you rack your brain. It's a 'thinky-filler' with an innovative tableau-building mechanic, where cards are both your tools and your objectives. Player interaction is low, focusing more on your own efficiency and optimization. Perfect for those who enjoy a strategic puzzle with a light and fun theme, but don't be fooled, the challenge to master it is significant!
