My diy pnp with construction paper and b&w laser printer as idea for those without color printer or $ for printing.
An arrangement of the various works in Mottainai. I love the art style for this game!

Playing using the cards splayed rather than tucked under the temple. This way is easier to play with rather than having to rearrange the cards each time you tuck extra ones in. Inspired by the mini camps for GTR but using the temples in the game.
Mottainai & Wifey. Perfect :)

Overview

"Mottainai" (pronounced mot/tai/nai or like the English words mote-tie-nigh) means "Don't waste", or "Every little thing has a soul". In the game Mottainai, a successor in the Glory to Rome line, you use your cards for many purposes. Each player is an acolyte in a temple who performs tasks, collects materials, and sells or completes works for visitors. Every card can be each of these three things.

You choose tasks to allow you to perform actions, keeping in mind that other players will get to follow up on your task on their next turn. Clever planning and combining of your works' special abilities is key, as is managing which materials you sell.

Mottainai is a quick, but deep, game experience.
