About the game
This is a suite of ten games to be played with the Shibumi system. The collection is not made by the original creator, Cameron Browne, or the publisher nestorgames. Within can be found variants of many classical abstracts like Halma (Monky), shogi (Dual Duel), or Mancala (Sow Seed), but there are also wholly oringinal games like Frenemies, Kapow and Fireball. Most games are for two players, but some lighter games, like a stacking game and a version of Liar's dice, can be played with more players.

Questions and answers
Shibumi: Further Games 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 Shibumi: Further Games is 10–20 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 Shibumi: Further Games for ages 6 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.
Shibumi: Further Games belongs to these categories: Abstract Strategy and Expansion for Base-game. Its main mechanics are Auction / Bidding, Grid Movement, and Layering. Categories describe the theme and setting of a game, while mechanics describe what players actually do on their turns. Each mechanic links to a catalogue hub with similar games, which helps when you want something comparable.
The credited designers of Shibumi: Further Games are: Emil Danielsen. These credits come from the published game data and name the people responsible for the game’s design, not its illustrators or publishers. Designer pages on MeepleRules collect other titles by the same designers, which helps when you enjoy a game and want to find similar ones.
The catalogue lists Shibumi: Further Games as an expansion for Shibumi. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need Shibumi to use it. Check that your edition of Shibumi is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
