Speak of board games, usually, games such as Monopoly, Scrabble, and Risk might come into our mind. However, there are much more kinds of board games than you think! Today I would like to introduce 4 simple games designed in Japan to a hardcore tabletop gamer who want to try something new!
Board games made in Japan! Even a game that you can play on your own?
We cooperate with Taiwanese Youtuber [Colafarm] to give a short review for 4 games! (English captions available)
Hit! Manga
- Players:3~10
- Play Time:10~20 minutes
Manga is the signature of Japanese culture! Hardcore players who already played Dixit might get used to the game soon. Make your own comic with your imagination!
Shephy
- Players:1
- Play Time:about 15 minutes
Shephy is a rare board game that for only one player (lone ranger). It is best for killing time on your own!
Kikkasai
- Players:2~4

Kikkasai means “chrysanthemum competition”. It’s simple to understand and simple to play. And moreover, the design is really beautiful!
In Front of the Elevators
- Players:3~10
- Play Time:20~30 minutes
“In Front of the Elevators” seems to be just a card game to get into line. However, the design of “cut in line” and “color” make the game more exciting!
