Quotes (from this video)
  • Yōkai debuted at Essen, and now it's finally coming to Kickstarter from Mighty Boards. It's a charming town-building game set in Hokkaido, where you spend potatoes to claim cards, sometimes before you can even afford them. You're competing, bidding, and building your perfect town. And if you missed it before, this is your chance to pick up Yōkai.
