YAMANOWA: a village’s story, built into a board game

Field notes

The described turn begins with an optional card, followed by a die roll and movement; the player then rotates a ring and checks whether water connects. Connected paths can reward the active player or someone with a base there, and the final score includes a first-arrival bonus. The project says children and other local participants contribute ideas, art, and playtesting; its caravan team introduces the game to people beyond the village.
