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（妖怪塔）：神隱！但必然伴隨著獻祭...
夕陽勾勒出遠處寶塔的輪廓。你被這棟建築散發的神秘氣息所吸引，決定進去一探究竟。突然，一陣笑聲、一個陌生的影子和幾雙充滿惡意、直勾勾盯著你的眼睛映入眼簾。令你震驚的是，你竟然喚醒了盤踞於此的強大妖怪！
你問什麼是妖怪？為什麼要害怕它們？這麼說吧，它們是奇異的幽靈，會在夜裡糾纏你，可以變換各種形態，而且行為舉止會根據你對待它們的方式而變化莫測……無論如何，一定要想辦法擺脫它們。
《Yokai Pagoda》是一款手牌管理卡牌遊戲，共有100張卡牌，分為10種妖怪類型。玩家的目標是在3輪遊戲結束後，盡可能減少負分。每輪輪到你時，你需要在寶塔周圍放置祭品，以求獲得妖怪的青睞。從你的手牌中打出一張牌，將其放置在兩個祭品堆中的一個上，並根據妖怪類型和牌面上的數字，觸發相應的效果。如果在觸發三種效果中的一種後，你手中仍有牌，且回合尚未結束，則輪到下一位玩家。
每回合結束時未使用的祭品會變成負分，就像未兌現的承諾一樣。遊戲結束時，負分最少的玩家獲勝。
