Description

Tensai: Oath & Instinct is a fast‑learning, high‑energy card game where 2‑4 players dive into a duel of wits and gut feelings. Designed by John D. Clair, the game lets you build your own deck on the fly, swapping cards and reshaping strategy as the match unfolds. The rules are so simple you’ll be teaching friends in a few minutes, but the choices feel deep enough to keep you hooked for a full hour or two of play. Whether you’re bluffing, honoring an oath, or trusting pure instinct, every round feels fresh, and the tension builds as you try to out‑maneuver the others. Perfect for game nights that crave a blend of casual accessibility and a satisfying tactical punch—no PhD in board‑gaming required.
