## Description
Shikoku Derby is a card and bidding game where you play as an expert on municipalities in Japan's Shikoku region. The goal is simple: predict how different towns will rank in six categories like population, area, density, and even agricultural output. Each round is a new race, and you'll wager points to guess the rankings. After six races, the player with the most points wins! It's perfect for trivia fans who enjoy a dash of strategy, and the local theme adds unique charm. Plays 2-6 people in about 30 minutes—enough time to become a Shikoku geography expert (or at least have fun trying).
