Description
In Naishi, you will seek to improve your Japanese state as efficiently as possible. However, you will not be free to change the positioning of your cards at will. You must replace the cards in your hand and in your tableau with cards from the central river while respecting their positioning. You will also have the possibility to send your emissaries to reorganise states, create new opportunities or force your opponent into a trade

Quotes (from this video)
- In the world of Vantage, nobody cares that I'm trans. I'm merely a passer by chatting with the Denizens, playing games, and participating in trials.
- Dispatch is eight scenarios. It's a little bit like a superhero animated TV show where you are making story choices.
- Inkorn is a deck builder in the style of Slay the Spire, but it adds a lot of things that aren't in Slay the Spire without overly complicating the game.
- Here Lies is a cooperative mystery solving game that does a brilliant thing with limited communication and limited information where one player has all the answers.
