Present is Future Games Yokai Pagoda

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.

When you play a card, deal one of the following effects:

If you play with the same Yokai or the same number, you can give someone a card from your hand.

With a different Yokai and a higher number, you can take a random card from the deck - or - the top face-up card from the opponent's discard pile.

With a different Yokai and a lower number, you can continue the round as if nothing had happened - or - end the current round, but only if you have three or fewer points in your hands. But… you should only take into account the lowest card of each type of Yokai you have!

At this point, each player puts the cards in their hand into a personal reserve. After 3 rounds, the player with the fewest points in their reserve wins, but… again, you must only take into account the lowest card of each type of Yokai you have.

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!
