About the game
They say they have seen the beautiful kitsune in the forest: Let's go find them to win their friendship! Only those with luck on their side will be able to find them. If you risk enough, you might get to see the little foxes, but if you approach them carelessly... you can scare them away and you'll lose them! In addition, the mischievous Oni are always hanging around, to change everything with their pranks. The objective of the game is to collect 3 kitsune of each color (Red, Blue and Yellow), if 2 to 4 players play. For 5 and 6 players you must collect 2 kitsune of each color. If at the end of your turn you have the required number of foxes, you win immediately. To do this you must reveal cards trying not to repeat any color. At any time you can stop and resolve the cards in any order you choose: Kitsune help you win. Renewal cards allow you to draw cards from other players Prosperity cards help you protect your little foxes Oni cards are played instantly to help or harm others.

Questions and answers
Kitsune supports 2–6 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 Kitsune is 25 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 Kitsune for ages 8 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.
Kitsune 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.
