About the Game

A gentle breeze… The soothing sounds of a flowing river... The glow of the moon... A bountiful harvest… Fear... Rage… and even death. Each of these forces affect the world around us and are in fact personified by a spirit. These Kami work together to form the natural order of things, but each aspires for influence over those that worship them.

Kami-sama is a beautiful and intuitive strategy game set in rural Japan during the Edo period. You assume the role of one of the many Kami, the spirits of the land. Using a combination of asymmetrical powers, area control, set collection, pattern building, and light card drafting, you will work to balance your Favor with the people and your connection to Nature in order to be crowned Kami-sama, the chief deity of the land.

Key Points - Beautiful and intense area control game with set collection and light card drafting. - Asymmetric Kami abilities allow you to play with a different strategy and tactics every game! - Unique rotating board and elegant gameplay.
