About Oni
In feudal Japan, Spring is a time of great celebration, but while everyone is distracted gazing at the flowers blooming, the Oni, twisted and legendary creatures, watch from the forest thinking of new mischief to do. They have gathered for an unique tournament: they will challenge each other to see who can make more people stumble and fall without being noticed in return for gold. Beware though! Samurai look after this place, and no one has brought them down before. Challenge your friends to get more gold, but keep an eye on your mischievous friends, since not even your own gold will be safe! Oni is quick party game of memory and deception, every player has an objective to attack and they are mixed with samurais forming a circle in the table. Every turn they will move one place, you will have to remember his position, hunt him, bring it in front of you and make it fall, before someone else does.
