About the game

What is Ukiyo?

Ukiyo is a tactical puzzle-based 18-card game for 1-4 players. Players lay cards down horizontally or vertically to create patterns of symbols within a 6x6 grid. In multi-player mode, players aim to complete the task on the last card left in their hand. In solo mode, players aim to complete increasingly hard puzzles that consist of combinations of two, three, or four tasks. Ukiyo takes just five minutes to play and is suitable for all ages. —description from the designer
