About the game
What you do in a play session
If you're already enjoying the 'Night Parade of a Hundred Yokai' and think it could be even more engaging, the 'Kami Rising' expansion is for you! This gem introduces two brand-new, asymmetric clans: the Kotengu and the Inugami. Each brings its own unique tricks and strategies to shake things up, offering you more options when building your Yokai army.
Beyond the clans, the expansion introduces two potent new abilities to use in the game: 'Banish' and 'Invoke'. These fresh mechanics add an extra layer of tactics, allowing you to remove threats from the board or bring powerful reinforcements to your side. To round out the package, you'll receive shiny new meeples, including some incredibly cute dogs and birds (perhaps a trap?!), along with brand-new Yokai cards, hidden plots, and Kami cards to make everything more epic.
With 'Kami Rising', the base game gains more replayability and depth, especially if you enjoy exploring different synergies and strategies each game. The addition of dogs and birds, coupled with the new mechanics, promises to liven up your game nights. It's an expansion that truly broadens the possibilities while maintaining the essence of the original game, but with that extra spice that fans love. Get ready to invoke and banish your opponents in even more fantastic battles!
