Description

Saiju is a captivating abstract strategy game designed for 2 to 3 players, offering a unique blend of simplicity and depth. With a playtime of just 15 to 30 minutes, it's perfect for a quick yet engaging gaming session. The rules are easy to learn, making it accessible to new players, but don't be fooled - the game requires strategic thinking to outmaneuver your opponents. The game takes place on a hexagon grid, where players compete to create groups of same-colour stones with more of their symbols than their opponents. As you play, you'll be immersed in the beautiful motif of Setsu-Getsu-Ka, a traditional Japanese trilogy of Snow, Moon, and Flower, represented by three symbols. The goal is to accumulate points by forming groups of three or more stones with two to three different symbols, with more of your symbols than your opponents. If you manage to create a group with all three symbols, you'll score double points. With its unique mechanics, including area majority, influence, connections, and set collection, Saiju offers a thrilling experience that will keep you coming back for more.
