About the game
What you do in a play session
In Tsukiji: Special Cards you receive 8 promotional cards that add a fresh twist to the already lively Tsukiji market game. Each card brings a unique character or effect—from the Keisatsu police officer who can block trades, to the Neko cat that brings unexpected luck—and all of them fit perfectly into the commodity speculation, open drafting, set collection, and simultaneous action selection mechanics. The core goal remains the same: buy, sell, and trade market items to amass the greatest profit by the end of the rounds. What sets these promo cards apart is the new ways they interact: the Refund (Modoru) card can return resources, the Ice (Kori) card can freeze an opponent for a round, and so on. Open drafting keeps each card choice strategic, while simultaneous action selection keeps the tension high because no one knows what others will do until everything is revealed. The game still runs at 20‑30 minutes, great for quick sessions, and works well with 2 to 4 players. If you love market games with a touch of Japanese humor and want to try new cards that challenge your usual strategies, this expansion is a solid pick. Component quality stays high with well‑illustrated, durable cards, and the learning curve is gentle, letting newcomers feel at ease while veterans discover new tactics.
