About the game
Yokai Sketch is a quick and charming card game for two players, where you compete to uncover the mysteries of yokai, magical forest creatures. Each game is a race to complete sketches of these supernatural beings, using strategy and a bit of luck. The game comes with two decks: one with yokai of four elements (water, fire, earth, and wind) and another with sketches made by curious children. Your mission is to gather the right sketches to 'capture' the yokai before your opponent. But be careful: if you tie, the yokai runs away, and no one scores! With simple set collection mechanics and cards with special abilities, Yokai Sketch is perfect for a quick game full of suspense and fun. Ideal for those who enjoy light games with a fantasy theme and a touch of Japanese folklore.
