Board Game Circus Naishi (d)

Naishi is an exciting and tactical card game for two players. Round by round, you will work on your perfect layout and optimize your hand cards to score the most points with the best combinations. But beware – the position of the cards in your hand and layout is crucial, and your opponent can thwart your plans! In Naishi, you build your own province with cards. However, the Shogun's laws are strict – they prohibit you from rearranging your cards. To earn points, they must be in specific positions. Fortunately, your envoys can help you: send them to the imperial court at the right moment to swap cards and turn the tide in your favor!

You have a hand and a layout, each containing 5 cards. Together, they form your province. You cannot simply change the positions of your cards – neither in your layout nor in your hand! Throughout the game, you will discard cards from your province and replace them with cards from the market – and their positions remain unchanged! Each card scores points in different ways. So pay attention to where each card needs to be to score. Additionally, you can send your envoys to the imperial court to use bonus actions, such as swapping cards. At the end of the game, you place your hand cards in a row beneath your layout, creating a 2×5 grid. Then, scoring takes place. The player who earns the most points for their cards wins!.
