About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a new era of yokai mayhem! The 'Cursed Throne' expansion for Night Parade of a Hundred Yokai plunges you into a mystical Japan where King Enma's disappearance has opened the gates to chaos. For 200 years, the cursed throne has fed on the power of whoever dares to sit on it, weakening the realm's magic and threatening the eternal closure of the spirit gates. Now, yokai clans parade nightly in search of souls, and your mission is to lead the rebellion! This expansion introduces the 'Reign' mechanic, whose effects change depending on which clan occupies the cursed throne. You'll also find new components like wooden Spirit tokens, the Champions, a new Challenge board, and more yokai to boost your parades. If you enjoy games with deck building, area influence, and asymmetric powers, this expansion promises to add extra spice to your experience, introducing new strategic layers and thematic twists. It's time to prove your clan is worthy of ruling (even if only for a short while!).
