How to play: First, set up the game board, which is an illustrated map of Japan. Place the custom plastic miniatures for shrines, painted meeples for workers, screen - printed score trackers, and the custom multi - color Mask die on the table. Over five seasons, take turns placing your workers on one of the thirteen actions or seven territories to work towards your goals. Building shrines will earn you honor and special abilities. You can also exchange deed cards for territory and roll the mask die for bonuses. Remember to keep an eye on the Omikuji and Kitsune cards for extra points and abilities. Note: Keep the components away from small children as some parts like the meeples and miniatures could be a choking hazard. When handling the cards, be gentle to avoid tearing. Maintenance: Store the game in a cool, dry place. After each game, make sure to clean the components. You can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the board and miniatures. If the cards get dirty, you can use a slightly damp cloth to gently clean them.
