You are a primordial cosmic deity who wants to build and control an eclectic pantheon of gods and act upon your various followers in all the ways that ancient deities tend to do: create marvelous miracles, bring about horrible curses, generate mysterious omens, and make increasingly outrageous demands — all to amass the divine power needed to perform even greater acts, attract even better followers, fulfill the best top-shelf prophecies, and prove once and for all that YOU are the almightiest in the universe!


Almighty is a tableau-building game of hand and resource management, with a dash of tile placement and area control. Each turn, players choose a god in their pantheon to perform an act card from their hand, impacting one or more of their followers. Acts and followers generate boons, such as Belief (used to buy new gods from an open market, as well as better acts and followers), Power (needed at increasingly higher levels to perform better acts and impact better followers), more followers (with higher, more valuable populations), and Souls (which grant endgame victory points, but offer bonuses if spent during the game). Acts are performed in one of four lands shared between all players; the more presence you have in a land, the cheaper it will be for you to build temples there, and each land grants a different amount of victory points for temples at the end of the game.

The game is broken into several ages, during which players compete to have the most boons of a specific type. Players also have three private prophecy cards to work toward, but must choose only one to score at the End of Days — the final, apocalyptic doomsday round of the game in which every player does their almighty best to make their final mark on the doomed mortal plane. The player with the most points at the end wins the title of ALMIGHTY!

Once upon a time, there was a pond that hummed and buzzed happily...but then the frogs suddenly appeared. They greedily filled their mouths with everything within reach of their tongues. They even snatched their prey from the mouths of the others.


Your goal in Snatch it! is to secure as much food as possible. Become a hungry frog, and grab the tastiest cards from the pond. Protect your well-filled piles from the other greedy frogs who keep trying to snatch them away from you. Only those who collect their piles before they burst will not end up with an empty belly.

In Suna Valo, two individuals take on the task of establishing their own farm in the Solarpunk world of Overgrown. Located in the picturesque "Sunny Valley" (Suna Valo), nestled at the foot of a mountain and crisscrossed by a broad river, the village of Foriro has been erected — a place of new beginnings! The farmers in this village supply valuable goods using their transport drones and river ships.


The construction of your farms is made possible through farm cards across various categories. Cultivate vast grain fields, and harvest beautiful water lilies or blue flowers. Deliver your sheep's wool to the village for clothing production or collect eggs from your free-roaming chickens. But amidst your explorations of the surrounding lands, don't forget to reinforce your fleet of transport drones!

Suna Valo features an innovative purchasing mechanism. Secure the right cards before your opponent does, snatch up the more valuable ones, and host prestigious events! Each time you acquire a new card for your farm, you activate an entire column of cards, causing your farm to flourish. However, you must also earn the resources to cover the costs of these cards.

At the end of three game rounds, the player with the most victory points emerges as the winner of this peaceful competition, having contributed the most to the development of Foriro!

The new president of Japon Brand will be 野村紹夫 (Akio Nomura), who has been active as a board game designer for many years and who served as a board member under the old system. Nomura describes his aspirations as follows:

"The situation surrounding Japan's analog game industry has continued to change over the past ten years. The number of people exhibiting overseas on their own has increased, and the number of overseas buyers visiting Game Market [in Tokyo and elsewhere] has also increased. However, for many individual artists, "overseas'' is still a long way off due to social and economic circumstances. I hope that the existence of Japon Brand will continue to be a source of hope for them. With the support of CMON, we expect to be even more active than ever before."

David Preti, COO of CMON Limited, also commented: "Japon Brand has always been a great ambassador for Japanese game design to the world. That spirit is extremely important, and we are honored to be a part of that long tradition."

In order to make the most of the synergy with CMON, Japon Brand is building a business structure, and without losing its traditional spirit, will continue striving to convey the wonders of "Japanese games" to the world.

The KADOKAWA Group is promoting the basic strategy of "Global Media Mix with Technology'' in its medium-term management plan ending in March 2028 in order to improve its corporate value over the medium-to-long term. As an important measure for this purpose, in addition to increasing the number of IP (intellectual property) points we create from the current 5,500 points to 7,000 points per year, we will further accelerate the media mix to increase the LTV (lifetime value) of each of these IPs. We aim to maximize the LTV.

In recent years, analog games that do not require power supply, such as trading card games (TCG) and board games (BDG), have become increasingly popular not only in Japan but also around the world, and the market continues to grow. The size of the TCG domestic market has rapidly expanded after the coronavirus pandemic, more than doubling from ¥113.3 billion in fiscal 2019 to ¥234.8 billion in fiscal 2022. The global BDG market is expected to expand from $9.3 billion (approximately 1.2 trillion yen) in 2023 to more than 2.4 times in 2036. In addition, the number of participants in Japan's largest analog game event, "Game Market'', sponsored and operated by Arclight, has reached a record 25,000.

Arclight operates Hobby Station, which has one of the top store networks in the TCG industry, and has strong planning and development capabilities that have created popular original works, as well as know-how in managing Japan's largest analog game event. Furthermore, we hold many domestic licenses for world-famous analog games.

KADOKAWA has also been involved in the analog game business for some time, and クトゥルフ神話("Cthulhu Mythos TRPG''), made in collaboration with Arclight since 2004, is a representative work in this business. Masu. In addition, we collaborated with Arclight in 2022 to release モンスターイーター ～ダンジョン飯 ボードゲーム～ ("Monster Eater: The Delicious in Dungeon Board Game"), which is based on the ダンジョン飯 ("Delicious in Dungeon") manga.


By welcoming Arclight into the group, we will expand the genre of media mix of popular IP owned by KADOKAWA, in other words, accelerate the commercialization of analog games, and also promote new games through the largest analog game event in Japan sponsored and operated by Arclight. By discovering developers and writers, we aim to further expand the number of IP creation points and accelerate the growth of the group.

In Panda Spin, each player attempts to be the first to rid their hand of cards, collecting bamboo in the process to keep their pandas well fed.

In more detail, Panda Spin is a climbing game played with a special deck of "double-headed" cards. All cards start with the orange animals toward the top. Each player receives a random wind card — each of which has a unique playing condition — and a hand of eleven cards, with the remaining cards placed in a deck.

During the game, players lay down cards to tricks as singles, in sets, in runs, or in formations (two consecutive pairs, two consecutive triples, etc.) If you're the first player in a trick, lead what you wish other than a bomb, that is, four or more cards of the same value. In turn, players must play a higher matching set of cards, e.g. a higher three-of-a-kind on a three-of-a-kind, or pass, after which they can no longer play in a trick. (A bomb cannot be lead, but can be played on any card combination.)

When you pass, if you've played cards and all of those cards have orange animals at the top, flip the cards so that the blue animals are at top. Each time you flip a card, you change its value depending on its suit: e.g., the water 4 becomes a pair of Qs, the wood 6 becomes a A+bamboo (and each time you play a card with bamboo, you take a bamboo token from the reserve), the earth 8 becomes a Q+panda (with you stealing a bamboo from an opponent for each panda you play), the fire 3 becomes a 10+fire, with the fire being a value of your choice when played.

If you pass and the cards you've played have at least one blue animal, you discard all of those played cards. The winner of the trick always discards all of their played cards, then they lead to the next trick. When you play a wind card — the south wind, for example, beats a run or formation with 3+ different numbers in it — you draw two cards from the deck; subsequent players need only beat the card combination played prior to your wind. If you play a wind, you always discard all cards you played to the trick.


When a player runs out of cards — that is, they "show out" — they score bamboo equal to how many cards are held by the player with the largest hand. When all but one player have shown out, the round ends, then you shuffle all the cards (including the winds) and deal everyone a new hand. A player immediately wins the game when they have at least twenty bamboo — but they must score their 20th bamboo by showing out; playing wood and panda cards scores you no bamboo when you have nineteen bamboo.

Each year as the mid-summer festival begins, the seven panda clans gather to celebrate their many years of peace and prosperity. After all the feasts, stories, and games, the Elders host the annual competition wherein the bravest of all pandas gather to battle for honor and glory. The panda clans each have their own powers and abilities, and the Elders consider those strengths carefully as they assemble their teams.


In the game, each player starts with a single yellow die, and over ten rounds builds a hand of ten dice to earn the most points, with each color of dice having its own scoring properties. Players vie for the best drafting order to pick from the allotted dice each round.

In Panda Panda, players carefully manage their cards to try to make specific hands. On a turn, players can discard a card, draw from the deck, or draw from an opponent's discard pile. If a player discards an "A" card, everyone has to pass one card to the right.

To win, yell "Panda Panda!" when you start a turn with a completed hand. Can you collect the right cards, figure out what your opponents are going for, and time the "A" cards correctly?

Every morning in Mumbai, over five thousand workers dressed in white swarm out to deliver more than 200,000 "dabbas" (multistoried lunch boxes) to the offices of the Indian metropolis. These "Dabba Walla" have been an iconic fixture in the cityscape since 1890. The food is freshly prepared at home by families, then collected from their front doors by the Dabba Walla. Even though some of the dabbas travel very far, they are delivered punctually via a network of intermediate stations with an amazing reliability of 99.999%! Now it's time to join the Dabba Walla on their daily journey through Mumbai...

The game Dabba Walla consists of two phases:

— Pick-up phase: Take turns moving your Dabba Walla through Mumbai to collect dabba cards. Each time you pick up a card, you then play one of the three in your hand to take the depicted dabba tile — a polyomino of 1-4 squares — and place it in your cart, stacking tiles higher and higher as the rounds progress. Dabbas come in four colors, and you must place them on flat surfaces, filling holes with empty dabbas if needed. If you connect two half-chai symbols on tiles on the same level, you draw a random chai tile with a bonus action. Keep all played dabba cards in a personal discard pile.

— Delivery phase: After everyone has placed fifteen tiles in their cart, it's time to deliver lunches! Pick up all the cards you played, then complete a number of delivery rounds equal to the highest level that someone has stacked their dabbas. Each round, each player plays and reveals one dabba card from their hand, optionally playing chai tiles as well. Sum the value of each color of dabba, then everyone scores their dabbas on the current level based on these values, removing the tiles from their carts. (Note: If not all players have dabbas on the current level being scored, they still play a card, but they score nothing.)

Once all the dabbas have been delivered, players score for their remaining chai tiles, then whoever has collected the most tips wins.

Dabba Walla contains two expansion modules to provide additional ways to score or change the value of dabbas being delivered.
