About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for an elegant and tactical duel under the cherry blossoms! Sakura Arms: Yurina Box is your gateway to a card combat system that lets you choose two goddesses and combine their powers to build a unique deck. The goal is simple: defeat your opponent in a fast-paced, strategy-rich battle. The game stands out for its beautiful artwork, the tactical depth it offers, and the immense variety of duels you can create. Setup is super quick, and the rules are easy to grasp, but don't be fooled: the complexity arises from the goddess combinations, which guarantee virtually infinite replayability. Level 99 Games, in partnership with Bakafire Party, brought this brand-new edition to Western audiences, featuring an enhanced rulebook, beginner-friendly tutorials, quick start setups for each goddess, and improved production quality. This box already includes six goddesses – Yurina, Shinra, Oboro, Tokoyo, Himika, and Yukihi – and everything you need to start playing and dive headfirst into this universe of duels.
