A must-play for history buffs! Zanshige Gomen is a party card game where you conceal your own identity while uncovering other players’.
There are six factions—Shinsengumi, Tosa Domain, Choshu Domain, Satsuma Domain, Americans, and the English.
As you deduce opponents’ hands, you choose “Cooperate” if you believe they’re in your faction, or “Dispatch (Defeat)” if they’re in a rival faction.
The player who keeps their identity hidden while exposing others’ identities wins.
hand
Even if the person putting their hand in can’t see inside the box, people around them can sometimes see what’s in there, right? Why not take advantage of that situation—where only the guesser can’t see—and use someone’s hand as the mystery item? Have the guesser wear an eye mask to block their vision, and have the person in charge insert their hand from the front.
Because they’ll assume “there’s no way that could be in there,” you can expect a big reaction when they touch it.
The reaction may also change depending on whether the hand moves or not.
Just One
It’s a cooperative game where all participants work together to guess the target word from limited clues.
Each person writes a word that evokes the theme, and the responder uses those as hints to figure out the target.
If hints overlap, they’re forfeited, so it’s important to provide precise yet unique hints—finding that balance is key.
Let’s also enjoy the excitement that comes with mishaps, like when all hints are forfeited or when the hints make the answer impossible to imagine.
Beef Tongue Game
A super simple yet strangely addictive “Gyutan” game.
With your palms together, extend your hands forward and go around in order to the rhythm of “gyu-tan gyu-tan gyu-tan-tan”: the “gyu” person says it out loud without clapping, and the “tan” person claps silently without saying anything.
From the next round on, the final “tan” increases by one each time.
If you miss the rhythm or go out of order, you’re out.
As the number of “tan”s grows and the tempo gradually speeds up, this seemingly simple game somehow gets tangled up—and it’s highly addictive.
What is “Say Bye”? lol – Review of “Seibai (Punishment/Justice)”
Hissatsu Shigotonin! “Seibai,” a card game where you take down villains.
Each player controls an enforcer with unique abilities and defeats various villains, each with their own traits.
The rules are a bit complex, but it’s perfect when you want to take your time and play at a relaxed pace.
The catchphrase lines of the characters’ hidden personas are full of humor and not to be missed!

Face-off with Mr. Morimoto on ‘My View of the World’!
“My View of the World” is a card game with a fantastic sense of worldbuilding.
The deck is split into prompt cards and word cards; each prompt card has a blank like “___.” Players fill the blank using one of their word cards, and the funniest entry wins! It’s not just about playing a card—you can boost the fun by adding a little presentation.
It’s a game where imagination and presentation skills are key!
