イラストリー (Illustori) (2019)

Giới thiệu

"Illustori" (イラストリー) is a word chain game where players lay down artwork cards in turn and give names to them, such that the start of a card's name overlaps the end of the previous card's name. (In Japanese, they overlap by syllable; in English and other languages, by letter.)

The artwork name that the turn player chooses can be a sentence, a quote, an onomatopeia, or anything. All it needs for chaining is the agreement from the other players.

Every player starts with 5 cards. The rest of the cards are the stack. Gameplay follows a clockwise direction. The first player draws a card from the stack, place it where everyone can see, and call the first "word". Then the turn moves to the next player. At every player's turn, they can choose either of the following actions; 1. Place one of their cards and call any chaining "word". The "word" has to be chained to the last letter of the previous "word". 2. Discard one or more cards and draw the same number of cards from the stack.

If the turn player put and call the "word", the rest of the players discuss whether the "words" matches the artwork or not. When more than half of the players agree, the chaining is succeeded. Otherwise, the card placed in this turn is discarded and the failed player must draw one card from the stack. Then the turn moves on to the next player.

Once a player has no cards remaining, that will be the last round. If multiple players are able to place all of their cards during the last round, all of them are winners.
