About this product
A quick cat-filled card game through the streets of Kyoto.
Fast to learn, quick to play, and full of charming cat chaos for light family fun.
Explore Kyoto as curious cats, collect bells, and try not to stay out too late.
Product Description
In Gangs of Kyoto, players become curious cats exploring the city beyond the garden wall.
Each turn, the active player draws cards and hands one card to each player around the table. These cards may bring bells, helpful effects, or time values that push a cat closer to staying out too late.
The goal is simple: be the first player to bank 13 bells. But be careful — when a player’s card values reach 13 or more, that player loses their row for the round, while the other players get to bank their bell cards.
Quick, cute, and sneaky, Gangs of Kyoto is a light card game where timing, luck, and clever card choices all matter.
