Imagine that the Moon wasn't just a satellite, but a slumbering god named Tsukuyumi. In a devastating future, this kami awakened, collided with Earth, and ripped through continents, turning the Pacific Ocean into a wasteland. Now, humanity is on the brink of extinction, while mutated creatures and ancient technology fight for dominance over the ruins. In Tsukuyumi: Full Moon Down, you take command of one of these factions in an all-out war for survival and power.

The game is purely strategic—there's no room for luck here. You can lead the Nomads (surviving soldiers from a stranded aircraft carrier), the Boarlords (intelligent boars terraforming the world), the Cybersamurai (masters of drones and orbital lasers), the Dark Seed (a swarm of mutated insects), or the Kampfgruppe 03 (dragon hunters). Each faction is completely asymmetrical, with its own units, abilities, and objectives, meaning every match changes drastically depending on who is playing.

The gameplay revolves around a modular board and an action card bidding system. Players compete for colored cards (Blue, Green, and Red) that determine the initiative order and which actions can be taken during each phase. You'll need to manage your resources to place bids, position your units strategically to control areas, and use Impact Cards to turn the tide of battle. The ultimate goal is to accumulate Victory Points by conquering territories and fulfilling your faction's specific missions. With a significant strategic weight, the game requires you to identify your opponents' weaknesses and time your attacks perfectly. It's an epic clash where tactical intelligence is the only weapon capable of bringing down a god.
