Description

The Onbashira Festival has been held every six years for 1,200 years when the shrine's buildings of Suwa Taisha are rebuilt at Suwa City, Nagano Prefecture, in the Chubu region of Japan. The climax of the festival consists of the Kiotoshi (people riding the gigantic logs as they slide down a steep slope to prove their bravery) In this game you'll build up a crew of Kiotoshi and train them to make sure you have the best odds on surviving the steep slope to prove your bravery as they ride the logs down. Discover ancient survival technics and craft necessary gear that will help you to succeed as the bravest log riding crew for the next six years. The game is played in multiple phases. Worker placement phase: On your turn, you'll take 3 actions found around the city, move on around the board to gather resources including recruiting brave new Kiotoshi. During the Action phase, you'll construct and place your Kiotoshion the logs and push them down the hill to score points. Scoring phase: Each player will score the necessary points they earned around the board for easy tracking. The game ends after 5 rounds or the fist player to construct a new tree to symbolize the reunification of nature and the elements. The person who has scored the most points wins.
