Get ready, folks! Yomi: Round 1 is the perfect hit for those who love the adrenaline of fighting games but prefer the warmth of the tabletop. Forget buttons and controllers; here, the battle is in your mind and in managing your cards. Each character comes with a deck that works like a souped-up poker deck: numbers are basic attacks, face cards are specials, and aces are game-changing super moves. The goal is to read your opponent like an open book, anticipating their every move and counter-attacking with precision. It's pure psychology and strategy! This pack brings four new fighters for the second edition of Yomi, allowing for 1v1, 2v2, 2v1 battles, and even a solo mode for you to train your reflexes. And the best part: these decks are compatible with other boxes from Yomi's second edition, expanding your confrontation possibilities. Prepare for intense duels where reading your opponent is as crucial as combining your cards. Each match is a test of nerves and intelligence, simulating the tension of major fighting tournaments. If you enjoy a card game with depth, strategy, and a touch of smart 'guessing,' Yomi: Round 1 is for you!

The focus is on the character card decks. Each character has their own deck, which is the heart of the game.
