JOURNEY TO THE WEST: EIGHTY-ONE PERILS

CONTENT NOTE: The cover illustration for this game features a small, left-facing bent cross, which is an ancient, sacred symbol in a number of cultures, including the Bon and Mahāyāna Buddhist traditions from which many aspects of Journey to the West are derived. We're sensitive to the modern connotations of the co-opted, mirror image of this symbol and the distress that it and similar iconography can cause, and have no desire for anyone to be surprised by the box.

The path in 西游释厄传 Journey to the West: Odyssey (this game's original title in China) is full of perils and extraordinary creatures. With taking on the role of the disciples, Shifu, monsters, and deity, the fate of your journey rests in your hands. In this mystical realm, you will navigate your journey strategically by playing cards. Each time, you must carefully observe and follow the card played by the previous player. However, beware! If you find yourself unable to match the card, fate deals a cruel hand, and you must take all the cards on the play area as “Peril Cards”. Will you possess the cunning and courage to conquer this extraordinary quest, or will you succumb to the perils that await?

Gameplay
Players take turns playing cards from their hands, with each card representing different characters or creatures from the Journey to the West universe. The objective is to follow up on the previous player's card with a higher value card or a special effect card. Failure to do so forces the player to collect all the cards on the table, which become "Tribulation Cards." The game continues until the deck is exhausted.

Victory Condition
The player with the least number of Tribulation Cards at the end of the game wins.
