Sakura

Players: 3-6Ages: 10+Playing Time: 30-40 minutesContents: Playing board, 60 cards, 50 prestige tokens, 6 player figures, Emperor figureEvery year the Emperor walks through the imperial gardens to greet the spring. Every year he stops beneath the Sakura trees, and every year you try to paint his picture. This year will be your year. Artists from near and far will step over their rivals to be closest to the Emperor as he reaches the cherry blossoms, hoping to pain a portrait that will please him. However, should one of them accidentally bump into the Emperor, they will be sure to earn his ire!Sakura is a light tactical game of trying to pushing your luck, and pushing your friends. Each player will simultaneously decide how far to move both their character and the Emperor. The player closest to the Emperor when the Cherry Blossoms are reached will gain a huge amount of prestige, but if you push too far you risk bumping into the Emperor and walking away in disgrace.
