On the point about soft elimination. I think it's not super bad as the max number of dolls one can hold is 10 and excess gets cleansed directly at shrine 11 ( which is technically out of the game) .
@@wingready Yeah, I agree, and it's why I came to the conclusion that it doesn't really ruin the game. I think it's more that we have had one or two games where one person busts, the other 3 are at 2 dolls, and the 4th person who just busted is now at something like 9. Just wanted it in the review because I think for some people that could be a dealbreaker in the game. Hope the how-to and review was helpful for you and thanks for watching :)
@@TheBoardGameDojo Yeah I agree, the bust is pretty brutal ( or perhaps funny; depends on the game group and perspective). P.S. the last FAQ states ( in the unlikely but possible scenerio), if your roll consists of all double dolls, its considered a bust and the player should visit a real shrime just in case. That is some dark humor. I look forward to more Japanese game reviews from the dojo. どうぞよろしくお願いします｡
Thanks for covering these games! And if I end up importing this and need the rules... I'll thank you again, hah
I totally ordered a copy of this after your halloween episode
Finally proper english rules. Thank you

Who is going to see this box, with the creepy doll and think this will be a great game to play with my kids?
........me.
Ha! I guess I have to amend my statement in the video. "Nobody!....except eVanDiesel"
@The Board Game Dojo I'm weird though. 😁
