Bitoku (engl.)

Description

Bitoku is a strategy game for 1 to 4 players aged 12+ with a playing time of 120 minutes. Take on the role of forest spirits on a journey toward transcendence, using hand management and engine-building to strategically play yōkai cards, manage guardians, build structures, and guide pilgrims while aiding lost souls to achieve victory through multiple paths.

In Bitoku, players take on the roles of Bitoku spirits of the forest on their journey toward transcendence, aiming to become the next great spirit. Along the way, they are aided by yōkai, kodamas, and various pilgrims who accompany them on their path. This is a hand-management and engine-building game featuring multiple routes to victory. Players use yōkai cards in their hands, which must be played strategically at the right moments and locations to maximize their abilities. Throughout the game, players can acquire additional yōkai cards to expand their decks, increase their options, and boost their scores. Each player also controls three yōkai guardians represented by dice, which can be sent to major forest regions on the main board to unlock new possibilities. These include building structures, obtaining soul crystals that generate resources during specific actions, and more. Additionally, players can aid the mitamas — lost souls seeking redemption — by utilizing chinkon fireflies. The game offers a broad range of actions, further enriched by the personal domain where players manage pilgrims. Pilgrims are followers who undertake journeys of contemplation and reflection, sharing their experiences and insights gained along the spirit path with the Bitoku. This additional layer introduces deeper strategic choices and enhances the overall gameplay experience.
