About the game
Tanuki live in the forest. They are pranksters and funny. But most of all, they are very greedy! They have stolen fruits from the little shop of Granny for the big tanuki party! Who will have the most beautiful table with the most guests? Will Grandma want to participate? Today is Tanuki Matsuri! In this roll and write game taking place in the same universe as Tanuki Market, players roll dice and circle fruits on their sheet.

Questions and answers
Tanuki Matsuri supports 1–6 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 Tanuki Matsuri is 15 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 Tanuki Matsuri for ages 7 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.
Tanuki Matsuri has a complexity rating of 1.2 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.
