Overview

Izayoi (?????) is a board game where players race to collect 16 types of wakomono and compete for points. The game is for 3 to 5 people and it can be played in 15 minutes. One player places a recommendation card on the field. Depending on the number of votes one of the players will earn the wakomono. There are also some unique rules, and it also requires strict hand management. Players aim for the highest score, but they should not exceed their master's score. Eventually, if a player's score exceeds his/her master's, the player will be dropped from the game. This mirrors Japanese culture in which one should be “polite” and not make the master lose face.
