Kemomimi Panic is a board game released in 2010 for 4–8 players, 45 minutes per game, and ages 16 and up. It was designed by Masayuki Kudou and its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers, Player Elimination, and Voting.
The players are citizens threatened by the vicious thief Crescent Moon. Through talking, bluffing and special abilities, you must find out which of them is the culprit. Will Crescent Moon manage to steal everyone's treasures before she is unmasked? Kemomimi Panic is a conversation-based deduction game in which all players take the role of a beast-eared human, but the master thief Crescent Moon lurks among them, aiming to steal every player's treasure before the civilians can reveal her.
Kemomimi Panic supports 4–8 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Kemomimi Panic is 45 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Kemomimi Panic for ages 16 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Kemomimi Panic has a complexity rating of 1.5 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
