About the game
Yokai Pagoda is a card game from PIF Games, designed by Jacobo Rufete (2023). It plays 2–5 players in 10–15 minutes, for ages 8+. BoardGameGeek players rate it 7.4 out of 10 and call it medium-light (1.5 / 5 weight).
A mysterious building stands on the hill, bathed in a twilight light. Amazed by the Pagoda's strange aura, you decide to investigate it. Suddenly, laughter, a shadow that is not yours, and an eye with ominous pretensions come to life. You have broken the peace of ten powerful Japanese spirits (called Yokai) that rest there! Will you find a way to calm their wrath?
A game of Yokai Pagoda is played over 3 rounds, always playing one card at a time, until someone ends the current round. To play a game, shuffle the 100 number cards (divided by 10 types of Yokai, numbered 1-10), place two cards face up to start the two discard piles, then deal seven cards to each player. Place the rest as the Pagoda deck, among the discard piles.
Try to even out the balance between lost cards or keep the exact amount you need to reduce your score when the other player ends the round. In Yokai Pagoda, knowing when to give up a card, continue playing, or end the round makes all the difference!
