Kitsu (2024)

Overview

A game is 1v1 or in teams of 2v2 or 3v3.

The Kitsune are divided into 2 clans : Zenko (blue cards) and Yako (orange cards). You are assigned one clan at the beginning of the game but you will have to play with your clan's cards and the ones of the opposing clan to win.

A round is a series of tricks. At the end of each trick, compare the total value of the orange Kitsu cards against the blue Kitsu cards. The clan with the higher value advances its Kistune marker on the Wisdom track by the difference between the orange Kitsu cards and the blue Kitsu cards total value. If this difference is higher than 4, the team who lost the trick gets a Power token. A round is over when a clan has brought its Kitsune marker on the absolute wisdom space.

When a clan has won 2 rounds, the game ends.

You will have to count on the special cards that spice things up, on the changes of strategy because of the timing and on the power tokens to win the game.
