Perry Konai de

User summary: ペリーは来ないで (Perry Konai de) is a card game by the doujin circle 哀愁旅館きたぐに (Aisyu Ryokan Kitaguni) released for the Game Market Tokyo 2017 Spring board game convention in Japan, Tokyo, Odaiba in May 2017. The game's name translate roughly as 'Don't come Perry'. The character of Perry refers to Matthew C. Perry, the Commodore of the United States Navy who played a Major role in opening to Japan in 19th century. In this game each player is trying to collect poos to prevent Perry, attracted by their gold, from coming to their port. The players take turns in drawing cards and playing them any face they want up in from of themselves or any other player. If a card is played in a manner that it pincers other cards, a la Othello, the cards in between get flipped: a Poo card become a Gold card, and a Gold card become a Poo card. At the end of a round, the player with the most Gold cards must draw a Point card. When a player exceeds the maximum number of points, the game stops and the player with the less points wins. The manual is in Japanese but you don't really need Japanese to play the game.
