Jisogi: Anime Studio Tycoon

Jisogi is a worker-placement board game. The theme is Anime, more specifically the hard-working folks and the crushing business behind it.

In this tycoon-style game, players use Staff members (cards placed in front of their personal Studio board) to select from a range of available actions (limited by the type of Staff). Their objective is to release an original Anime composed of 3 Script parts (Setting, Plot, and Twist). Whenever released, players will gain resources and points according to their popularity - determined by the technical level of the Anime and how many genre matches they have to rotating Trend cards.

"Jisogi" comes from 自転車操業, jitenshasōgyō, an expression that refers to barely keeping a business going (an analogy that a bicycle falls over when its wheels cease rotating). Get ready for a challenging tycoon-style game where you'll hustle to make your dream Anime against all odds.
