About the game
What you do in a play session
The game revolves around auctions, where you'll bid to secure the best fishing boats. Each bid is a step towards claiming your piece of the ocean and bringing the catch to your stall. But beware, the economy is closed, and the money you spend might be missed later. Furthermore, the turn order is also decided by auction, so every decision counts to avoid falling behind. It's a strategy game with a bluffing element, where you need to manage your resources and keep an eye on your feline competitors.
With components including player screens to keep your bids secret, Nyakuza throws you into a fun and strategic competition. It's a great choice for those who enjoy games with auctions, resource management, and a slightly unusual theme. Get ready to dive into this world and prove that your cat clan is the smartest and luckiest in Oki-Yo Bay!
