Jisogi is a brand new worker-placement board game designed and published by Esper Game Studio, with art by Eisuke Gou and Senkawa Teien. The theme is Anime, more specifically, the hard-working folks and the crushing business behind it.
In this tycoon-style game, players use Staff members (cards placed in front of their personal Studio board) to select from a range of available actions (limited by the type of Staff). Their objective is to release an original Anime, composed of 3 Script parts (Setting, Plot, and Twist). Whenever released, players will gain resources and points according to their popularity -determined by the technical level of the Anime + how many genre matches they have to rotating Trend cards.
"Jisogi" comes from 自転車操業, jitenshasōgyō, an expression that refers to barely keeping a business going (an analogy that a bicycle falls over when its wheels cease rotating). Get ready for a challenging tycoon-style game where you'll hustle to make your dream Anime against all odds.
