Fun fact! The 'big fish' is a Japanese sea creature called a Shachihoko. There are several pairs on top of Himeji Castle (and many other older wooden structures) roof because the creature swallows large amounts water and was thought to protect buildings from fire with the water/controlling the rain. I was able to see them when I was there so I was excited to see them in the game. Thanks for the play through!

I was on the fence about this game, watched several top 10s, reviews and tutorials. After watching this, I bought it. Stellar explanation! Tyvm!!

Yall's playthrough and review videos make me so happy. Y'all rock! Best board game channel on the internet.

As a Japanese history nerd, and a lover of dice worker placement, I am suuuuuper stoked to get my hands on this one. Devir has been straight fire lately, especially their heavier offerings like Lacrimosa. Aaaaand having a euro we could get in and out of in under an hour would be a BIG selling point for our table haha

You just made me put this on my wishlist. I mean almost everything from Devir immediately goes on my list.. but I already have Bitoku and Bamboo, and I almost convinced myself I've had enough of this theme/vibe. But apparently not, because this looks soooo fun! And it's so beautiful too. Thank you for another amazing video!

Thanks a lot. It's always great to have your super explanation and than actually see the game being played. Just enough to jump in by myself. 🙂
-
As always...great video. I'll be buying this one for sure because of it. Thank you!!!!
-
Great job, love the thoughtful commentary. And it was such a cool bonus to see the photo of you two at the actual White Castle!! 😯👏👏👏

Excellent review!

Thank you for the playthrough guys
-
I love your videos because you explain so perfectly the game. Thank you very much! Nice game. I bought my copy and will try it today 😁
-
Game of the year so far for me. Thank you for covering it!
-
Wow, high scores! I have a game night this evening and I’ll just show your teach. Thanks!
-
Thanks for the playthrough. This is a great game! Small box that packs a lot of punch. And excellent value for money too~.
-
thanks much for this, this one makes SO much more sense now... btw, for those who, like me, were confused on what distinguishes between the courtiers, warriors and gardeners, as from the top down view they all look the same... the gardener is holding what looks like a rake, the warrier has a sword, and the courtier isn't holding anything... those various shapes are on the board in gray, and the warrior is depicted with the sword on the left side, and the gardener with the rake on the right side...

review videos are the best videos!

Great game. Thanks for sharing! I picked this one up and am enjoying it a lot. I really like the variability. My games are usually in the 40's. But, I have beat the automa in solo, so I felt good with my low score.
-
Game is awesome, I can't decide between this and Red Cathedral but I love both! The limited actions make it even more tense :) really hope it takes off in the bgg rankings! Great playthrough and love your energy!
