Description

Onami is a strategic card game that's easy to learn but challenging to master, designed by Philip Loyer and published in 2016. In this simple yet engaging game, 2 to 6 players compete to gain control of a 5x5 grid by placing cards and using their numbers to outmaneuver their opponents. Each card has four numbers, one on each side, and players can rotate them to get the best possible outcome. The goal is to place your cards strategically to capture those of your opponents, and with the possibility of chain reaction captures, a single well-placed card can turn the game around. With a playtime of just 15 to 30 minutes, Onami is a quick and exciting game that requires both defensive and offensive strategies to win. Players must think carefully about where to place their cards and how to use their numbers to gain control of the grid. The game's area majority and influence mechanics add a layer of depth and complexity, making it a fun and challenging experience for players of all skill levels. Whether you're playing with a small group or a large one, Onami is a great choice for anyone looking for a fast-paced and strategic card game that's easy to learn but hard to put down.
