About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a card duel that hones in on classic Japanese games! In Okoshki, you and your opponent face off over up to 6 rounds, each trying to assemble the best card combinations to score points. On each turn, you play a card from your hand onto the table, hoping to match it by suit with a card already displayed. If it matches, both go to your scoring pile. No match? The card goes to the table. Then, you draw a card from the deck. If this new card matches something on the table, you take it all! Otherwise, it joins the available cards. If the drawn card can match more than one card on the table, the choice is yours! The goal is to be the master of combinations, accumulating points with smart plays and anticipating your opponent's moves. It's a light strategy game where hand management and observing available cards are crucial for victory. Perfect for those who enjoy a quick and engaging duel with a touch of tradition and luck.
