About the game
Get ready for more feline challenges in Nekojima with the Torii Pack expansion! This beauty adds a new, sacred Torii gate to Cat Island, meaning the installation of electrical poles just got even more tense and precise. Extra caution is needed when handling these components near the Torii, because things can get serious (and unbalanced!). But luck might be on your side: the famous Maneki-neko, the Japanese lucky cat, is roaming the districts. Will it lend you a paw or just add to the chaos?

This expansion brings the thrill of "Dice Rolling" to test your luck and skill, while the "Stacking and Balancing" mechanic demands steady hands to avoid toppling everything. The game remains "Cooperative," so everyone works together to overcome challenges, but with that "Single Loser" twist that keeps the tension high. And for those who enjoy playing alone, the "Solo / Solitaire Game" experience is guaranteed, maintaining the fun even without a group. With a focus on "Action / Dexterity" and "Party Game" elements, the Torii Pack is perfect for those who enjoy physical challenges and moments of pure group fun, or for those who want to test their luck individually. Increase the complexity and fun of the original Nekojima with these new elements that promise challenges and laughter! It's a great addition for those who already enjoy the base game and want to extend the experience with more feline peril and luck.
