The legendary tanukis, also known as the Japanese raccoon dog, are reputed to be mischievous and jolly masters of disguise within Japanese folklore. Show your determination and reign supreme in this fierce and adorable card game.

Welcome to the vibrant world of Tanuki, where Gardeners, Geishas, Ninjas and tons of cute furry creatures clash in a race to cultivate the most productive bamboo garden. Will you try and get revenge or stay focused on your own garden? If you are looking for cute designs, fierce battles and strategic decision-making, then Tanuki is the game for you. Do you have what it takes to win in this no holds barred take that game? It's time to unleash your inner furry warrior!

Tanuki is a fast-paced card game where players compete to grow the most productive bamboo garden. During their turn, players play Action or Character cards, apply the cards’ effects and harvest bamboo from their gardens. Each Character card in the garden has its own unique abilities.

The game finishes once the harvest season has come to an end. The player with the most bamboo wins. Strategic decision-making and interaction between players are key elements of this game.
