Read the full game description
Arigatō is a simultaneous card game about developing a village and honoring the artisans who sustain it. Each round, players choose how to use their cards: add specialists to a growing tableau, activate linked abilities, or commit cards toward objectives. Multi-use cards and simultaneous choices keep turns brisk while rewarding careful timing, efficient resource conversion, and an eye on what rivals are preparing. Over a compact arc, every artisan matters twice—first for the opportunity it creates and again for the opportunity given up.
