🐸 HOW TO PLAY
The power of the feline clans
In Neko Syndicate , you take command of a clan of cats in the city of Mininogata, determined to prove yourself a worthy successor to Kumichō. To do so, you'll need to masterfully organize sushi production and meet the population's growing demand.
The pyramid of command
The core of the game is building a pyramid of cards that represents both your city district and your clan's chain of command. Each card becomes both an available action and an objective to complete, creating an original and highly strategic gameplay engine.
Cooking, transporting, delivering
Using the cards in your pyramid, you can cook sushi, move it to delivery zones, and complete the missions imposed by the Kumichō. Carefully planning your routes and actions is essential to maximizing your clan's efficiency.
The challenge of missions
Kumichō rewards those who complete missions the fastest, granting extra prestige. The competition isn't direct, but timing and the speed with which you complete your objectives can determine victory.
A filler for true strategists
The game lasts fifteen intense rounds, where every move must be carefully considered. The player with the most prestige points will ultimately win, proving themselves the true heirs of Kumichō. Neko Syndicate is a "thinky filler": quick to set up, simple to learn, yet capable of challenging the players' brains to the max.
