A game of hand optimization for two players!
In feudal Japan, a
Naishi
was a lady-in-waiting who served at the imperial court. She occupied an
important role and was responsible for various tasks, in particular
assisting with ceremonies and rituals. Naishi were often chosen by the
emperor from among noble families and had significant influence in
circles of power.
So make the most of your opportunities and send
your emissaries to intrigue at the imperial court, to place your cards
as effectively as possible and control Japan's most prestigious
territory.
You have a Hand and a Line, each consisting of 5
cards. This set represents your territory. You cannot freely rearrange
your cards, either in your Hand or in your Line.
Developing your
territory allows you to replace the cards in your deck, respecting their
position in the River. You can also send your Emissaries to the
Imperial Court, allowing you to perform additional actions.
At
the end of the game, the cards in your Hand will be revealed and placed
under the cards in your Line, respecting their positions.
Your territory will thus consist of a grid of 2×5 cards.
You will then add up the points contributed by each card, and the player with the highest total will win!
