Trapped in a Tokyo hotel where yokai lurk on every floor, you compete to be the first to escape the haunting by getting rid of your cards.

Gameplay

Race to empty your hand by playing matching sets that beat the current set, then pass when you can’t or won’t play. The pressure is choosing when to spend strong cards versus holding them for a better moment while opponents tighten the options.
