Age:

+12.

Time:

15 min.

When the little ones enter a forest, they always open their eyes wide.

Because they might come across some yokai! Moved by boundless curiosity, humans draw these mysterious and elusive spirits in their notebooks to understand their nature and learn from them.

Designed by ignasi ferré and illustrated by vincent dutrait (responsible for the art of titles such as amazon, holi, museum, explorers), yokai sketch is a game for two players, ages 12 and up, that offers games that last about 20 minutes.

With a core set collection mechanic, the goal is to get more yokai points than your opponent by completing sketches of the elusive forest spirits.

The game is made up of two decks of cards:

in one we find 4 types of yokai, each one associated with an element (water, fire, earth and wind) and a numerical value that corresponds to victory points.

In the other, the sketches made by humans and in which, in addition to two of the four elements, there may also be some special ability.

With a very simple preparation and with very few rules, you will immediately start playing.

At the start of the game, the yokai cards are stacked in the center of the table to form 4 decks (one for each type of card) and three sketch cards are dealt, face down, to the players.

On their turn, players take a new sketch card and slide one of their four cards under one of the four decks in the center of the table, so that it shows the element associated with that yokai.

If by doing this the yokai reaches or exceeds the number of sketches needed to draw it (by adding the sketches on both sides of the card), the player who has accumulated the most sketches on their side of the table will take it.

The winner´s sketch cards will be placed in the discard pile, and the other player´s will stay in their place, as they will be used for the next yokai card of that type starting the next turn.

If there is a tie in the number of sketches on both sides of the card, the yokai freaks out and loses.

In this case, neither manages to finish the drawing, and all sketch cards on either side of that yokai stack are discarded.

The sketch cards can also include powers:

call the yokai or distract the yokai that will allow some cards to be moved around.

The game ends when one or more yokai decks are empty.

Yokai sketch is part of devir´s pocket collection, which is characterized by bringing great games in a small format and at an affordable cost.

In addition to their portability, which makes them great travel companions, they are versatile titles within the reach of all audiences.

Yokai sketch duels will be resolved in a very short time and it is very possible that you will chain one game after another.

Prepare the notebooks, sharpen the pencils and hunt the spirits of the forest!
