Rock, paper, scissors with yōkai cards.
Duels of reading and bluffing: guess what your rival will play… and make them believe otherwise.
What is Janken Yōkai?
Yōkai are the spirits and supernatural beings of Japanese folklore. In a legendary Japan, their clans face off in a great tournament, and every duel is decided with rock, paper or scissors… and by how well you read your rival.
Collect their cards, build your deck and fight your way through the Great Janken Tournament.
The three clans
Each clan masters one move and plays its own way. You start with one; the other two unlock as you play.
