The sunset outlines the silhouette of a pagoda in the distance. Enthralled by the aura of mystery surrounding the building, you decide to explore inside. Suddenly, a laugh, an unknown shadow and eyes looking at you with evil intentions come to life. To your surprise, you have awakened mighty Yokai that dwelt there!
What’s a Yokai, you ask? And why should be afraid? Let’s say they are bizarre apparitions, that could haunt you at night and can take so many different forms and have an erratic behavior depending on how you will treat them… Whatever you do, try to get rid of them.
Yokai Pagoda is a hand management card game, with a 100 cards divided into 10 Yokai types, in which players aim to have the fewest negative points after 3 rounds. On your turn, each round, leave offerings around the pagoda to try to gain the Yokai's favor. Play a card from your hand and put it on one of the two offering piles and apply one of the possible effects based on the type of Yokai and the number on the card. If after applying one of the three possible effects, you still have cards in your hand and you have not closed the round, it is the next player’s turn.
Unplayed offerings at the end of each round become negative points, as though they were unfulfilled promises. The player with the fewest negative points at the end of the game wins.
Yokai Pagoda is a game where all your choices matter. You might want to start with the tutorial to learn its tricks. Will you find a way to appease them and avoid their wrath?

Yokai Pagoda：妖怪，速速退散！但须献上祭品……
夕阳勾勒出远方宝塔的剪影。你被这座建筑弥漫的神秘气息所吸引，决意入内一探究竟。骤然间，一阵笑声、一道陌生黑影，以及几双不怀好意的眼睛赫然显现。令你震惊的是，你竟唤醒了盘踞于此的强大妖怪！
你问何为妖怪？又为何要惧怕它们？简而言之，它们是诡异莫测的幽灵，会在夜里纠缠你，形态千变万化，行为乖张无常，全看你如何对待它们……无论如何，务必要设法摆脱它们。
Yokai Pagoda是一款手牌管理卡牌游戏，包含100张卡牌，分为10种妖怪类型。玩家的目标是在3轮游戏结束后尽可能减少负分。每轮轮到你的回合时，在宝塔四周献上祭品，以博取妖怪的青睐。从手中打出一张牌，放到两个祭品堆之一，随后根据妖怪类型和牌面数字触发对应效果。若在触发三种可能效果之一后，你手中仍有牌且回合尚未结束，便轮到下一位玩家。
每轮结束时，未献出的祭品会化为负分，如同未能兑现的诺言。游戏终局时，负分最少的玩家获胜。
Yokai Pagoda是一款步步皆关键的游戏。不妨先通过教程掌握其中门道。你能否找到安抚妖怪、避开其怒火的方法？
