Summon spirits. Outwit rivals. Embrace the charm of handcrafted strategy.
In the serene valley of Piri Piri, summoners embark on a sacred quest to bond with powerful spirits. Designed by Louis Hsu and Emio Poon and published by Mokuomo, Piri Piri Summoners is a 2–4 player strategy game that combines tactical depth with artisanal beauty.
Gameplay Highlights:
-
Objective: Be the first to summon all three of your Spirit Cards (Jack, Queen, King). If no one achieves this, the player with the highest score wins.
-
Mechanics: Utilize area control, set collection, and variable setup to outmaneuver opponents.
-
Actions: On your turn, choose to:
-
Swap a card from your hand with one from the deck.
-
Draw a card and play one, marking it with your wooden sculpture.
-
Purchase a card from the market using wooden coins.
-
-
Strategic Placement: Place cards orthogonally with higher suit or number, or diagonally without constraints. Flanking weaker cards can remove them, but Spirit Cards are immune.
Components & Design:
-
Handcrafted Wooden Meeples: Each set includes four exquisitely carved wooden sculptures representing iconic Japanese mascots: the Japanese Hare, Wild Boar, Capybara, and Tanuki.
-
Dual-Purpose Cards: The beautifully illustrated cards serve both as game components and a standard poker deck, offering versatility beyond the game itself.
