About the game
Game description from the publisher: The Russian soldati quaked as the hulking blue figure approached. One panicked, dropping his rifle, and fled. He was the lucky man, the only survivor. The remaining Russians expected the giant to fight like a brute, especially after their bullets bounced off him with no effect, but instead of running at the men, he stopped short and glared with such unearthly ferocity, he bent the commander's mind. Drawn forth from Naraka by a blend of science and mysticism, Itami is a hybrid of human and Oni, the denizens of the Realm of Suffering. While even the Shōgunate do not fully understand his abilities, they are astounding. His gaze can wrack others with pain and bend their very will. An unholy penumbra seeps out his every pore and drains the essences of those around him. For now, Itami works to ensure the mutual benefits of the Shōgunate and the Inferior Worlds, swatting aside enemies with a kenabō wrapped in mystically imbued leather. The Shōgunate have placed him in Iroh Minamoto's 3rd Division to best make use of his abilities while they explore their tenuous alliance with the Reich. Itami includes new rules for the Nippon Accord and a unique scenario that highlights Itami's mysterious powers.

Tannhäuser: Itami supports 2–10 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 Tannhäuser: Itami is 60–120 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 Tannhäuser: Itami for ages 13 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.
Tannhäuser: Itami has a complexity rating of 1.6 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.
Tannhäuser: Itami belongs to these categories: Wargame, Horror, and Miniatures. Its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers and Dice Rolling. 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 Tannhäuser: Itami are: Adam Sadler and Andrew Meredith. 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 Tannhäuser: Itami as an expansion for Tannhäuser. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need Tannhäuser to use it. Check that your edition of Tannhäuser is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
