About the game

This 36-card Fantasy Expansion Deck brings you vocabulary appropriate to the fantasy realm. Words like “Dragon,” “Magic,” “Treasure,” “Fight,” “Steal,” and “Cast a Spell” are included along with a mix of particles and other words that allow these cards to integrate into a Core Deck without any loss of play balance. Each expansion to Japanese: The Game adds new vocabulary words, and thus the rules that go along with how each noun, verb, or particle can be placed to make a sentence. The expansion decks are shuffled in with the main deck to accommodate more players (the game plays 2 by itself and needs either an additional core deck or an expansion to accommodate more), or just to add less common words to the mix for 1-2 players.
