About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready to dive headfirst into another night of revelry with the 'Moonlight Whispers' expansion for Night Parade of a Hundred Yokai! If you thought you'd seen it all with the Yokai, think again. This expansion introduces two brand-new, asymmetric clans: the cunning Tanukis and the enigmatic Kappas. Each comes with its own unique abilities, ready to turn the game upside down with 'change and hide' mechanics.
Beyond the new clans, the expansion introduces the mysterious Whisper Islands. These floating islands are home to the legendary Daiyokai, beings so powerful that even the Yokai King can't control them. Each island has its own elements, but beware: the rule of not placing more than one Meeple per island per turn still applies, adding an extra layer of strategy and tension to your journey. With these new additions, the base game gains even more depth and replayability, ensuring every game is a fresh adventure in the world of Yokai. It's the perfect addition for those who already enjoy the game and want more challenges and surprises.
