TAMASHII
A co-operative game with memory, set collection and press your luck, for 2-6 heroes. Ages 5-99
Author: Romuald Chapeau
Length of the game : 10-15 minutes
The six Tamashii are captive in the Forest of the Delighted Hopes. To release them, you have to gather and deliver
magic stones. Discover which stones bring and remember. Don't be either too slow, because magic stones dissipate.

1 bag
1 rulesheet

Aim of the game
Release a maximum of Tamashii.

Preparation of the game
Place the 6 Tamashii cards face down in the center of the table
Remove gems from the bag if necessary (see Difficulty levels)
The youngest player begins. Play in a clockwise direction.

How to play
At the beginning of the turn, the active player chooses either to look at a card, or to collect stones.
A player who chooses to collect stones, takes a gem from the bag, then chooses to stop and deliver stones to a
Tamashii or repeat.
Black gems : If a player takes a black gem, put all collected gems back in the bag and finish this turn. For NOVICE
difficulty, ignore this rule. Black gems are used as a gem of any color.
When a player delivers gems, he/she chooses if he/she tries to release a Tamashii. The player just needs to reveal
the card to verify if all necessary gems are delivered. If it is the case, the Tamashii card stays face up and the player
applies its Power. If not, all gems are removed from the card.
At the end of the turn, the active player removes a gem from the bag (if a black gem is removed, remove another
gem instead of it)

Tamashii Powers (ignore for NOVICE difficulty):
You look at a face down card

You put gems in excess back in the bag

You remove 1 black gem from the bag

You put 2 colored gems back in the bag

End of the game
When you can't release another Tamashii, count released Tamashii :
Less than 3 : hey ! It's just a game, let's try better next time
3 : Nice !
4 : Good job !
5 : Very good job !
6 : AMAZING ! Try a more difficult level next time
