The Cursed Throne

It has been 200 years since the King’s disappearance. After King Enma vanished, the yokai clans stormed the
streets parading in the night for souls. Many tried to rule over us, but their reign never lasted more than a
few decades. You see, the throne is cursed and it feasts on the ruler’s power... The weaker they get, the more
our magic fades away. Soon the gates to the spirit realm will be forever closed, and our legend forgotten.
Are you powerful enough to save us?

 Rule Adjustments
Treacherous Scheme
Before choosing your clan, shuffle the
Hidden Plot Cards and deal 2 face down to
1 each player (instead of one). Then, after you
choose your clan, discard one of your hidden
plots and keep the other. Return any unused
cards to the box without revealing them.
Fading Magic
!
Using Change ( ) is now a mandatory action. If a
Yokai has this icon, then you MUST move it to your
2 shortest Parade immediately after you use it. If the
active Parade is already your shortest one, you cannot
move this Card. If you have more than one Parade with
the same number of Yokai, then you choose.

the bottom spot on the Challenge Board.

If this is the first time you play the game using the Cursed Throne Expansion, setup the Challenge Board using the Jigoku side and shuffle only the Throne
Cards marked from ( 1 to 6 ). Once your group feels they already understand the rules enough, shuffle the remaining Throne Cards during setup.

 The Challenge Board
Each side of the Challenge Board was designed to highlight different aspects of the game.
If this is your first time using this expansion, use the Jigoku side.

Jigoku (Standard) Pandemonium (Variant)

Jigoku makes the early-game more engaging by Pandemonium makes the early-game more
encouraging combos and increasing the average Spirit tactical by encouraging players to battle for the
income of players, which leads you to get more yokai control of the islands.
in your parades.

Spots connected by arrows are adjacent to one another both ways ( ) or one way only ( ).

4
 The Champions
When you activate your Champion Card, move your Champion Meeple to an adjacent spot on the Challenge Board and perform the action depicted on the spot
landed upon. Multiple Champions may occupy the same spot on the Challenge Board and perform the actions depicted on the spot as normal.

Immediately after performing the action you landed upon on the Challenge board, you MUST perform a Change ( ) action.

3 1 2 3 4

In this Example, the Gamanoke player takes their

4.1 turn as follows:

1) Flips their Scroll token to activate the Night Parade

of Earth; 2) Places 1 Meeple on an Earth Island Tile
and take 3 Spirit Tokens; 3) Activates their Champion
Card to move their Champion Meeple down on the
track for an additional movement (3.1) and then they
3.1 MUST use Change to move the Champion Card to their
shortest Parade (3.2); 4) Places one Meeple on a different
3.1 Earth Island Tile and then (4.1) moves it to complete
5 their Torii in Earth Island 3, removing all 3 Gamanoke
3.2 Meeples and getting one bonus Spirit Token; 5) Unflips
the Green Scroll Token.

While still in the Challenge Board a Champion Meeple cannot Move itself using ( ), Punch another Champion Meeple ( ) or Hide ( ).

A difficult Choice
When your Champion Meeple reaches the Cursed Throne you have
to decide to either Rescue the King or Betray them and then reveal
a new Throne Card in the Challenge Board.

Rescue the King: take the top Throne Card, and place it on your
player area face up, this card will be worth 1VP and every time you
use the Reign Action ( ) you may choose to use either the ability
on the Throne in the Challenge Board or the one you rescued.

Betray the King: take the top Throne Card, and place it on your
player area face down, with the empty Throne showing. This card
will be worth 2VP at the end of the game.

After reaching the Throne, you get your Champion Meeple back
into your playing area. From now on, every time you activate
your Champion Card place the Champion Meeple on any island of
your choice. The Champion Meeple counts as just one Meeple for
completing Torii and can punch (or be punched), move, hide, etc. as
any other regular Meeple.
In this example, the Gamanoke player reached the Throne and decided to Rescue
the King, keeping the Throne Card face up next to their Scroll in their player area. In
future turns, if they use the ability Reign, they will be able to choose the effect from
either the card they rescued or the one on the Challenge Board, and will also be able
to place the Chanmpion Meeple on an Island by activating their Champion Card.

5
 New Ability: Reign
The effect of Reign ( ) will depend on the Yokai who sits on the Cursed Throne!

During the course of a game, if your Champion chooses to Rescue the King (pg. 5) then you also have
access to the ability of the Yokai in your play area, but not to Throne Cards rescued by other players.
As with any ability in Night Parade, you may choose not to use the Reign action when activating a
Yokai Card or moving your Champion on the Challenge Board. If you choose to do so, any additional
benefit that card would give to anoother players will also not be activated . For expample, if the
Throne Card available are 3 , 5 , 7 or 9 and you decide not to activagte Reign, the other
players will also not get their benefit.

In your first few plays, shuffle only the Throne Cards marked from ( 1 to 6 ).
Once your group feels they already understand the rules enough, shuffle the remaining
Throne Cards during setup.

 Change & Hide
The abilities below are present in the Moonlight Whispers Expansion. Use the new version of Change ( ) even if playing without the Cursed Throne expansion.

Change: Using Change ( ) is now a mandatory action. If a Yokai has this icon, then you MUST move it to your shortest Parade immediately after you use it. If
the active Parade is already your shortest one, you cannot move this Card. If you have more than one Parade with the same number of Yokai, then you choose.
The active carding leaving your Parade still counts to determine this Parade length. You cannot move a Yokai to the SAME Parade they already are.

In this Example, the Tanuki player takes their turn

1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 as follows:
player flips their brown Scroll Token to (1) activate their Night
Parade of Earth. Then (1.1) they place 1 Meeple on an Earth
1 Island Tile and the MUST use Change to move this Yokai Card
to the end of their Water Night Parade as it is their shortest
one. They then (1.2) place a Meeple on a Wood Island Tile, and
take 1 Talisman Token from the General Supply, Move one of
their Meeples already on the World Map and then MUST use
Change to move this Yokai Card to the end either their Water
or Wood Night Parades, as at this point they have the same
1.1 1.3 lenght, the Tanuki player moves it to the Wood Night Parade.
2 1.3) They move their Champion in the Challenge board to
get a Spirit token at this point of the game, both the Tanuki
Earth Parade and Water Parade have the same lenght, but
you CANNOT move a yokai to the same Parade they already
1.3 are, so they move their Champion to their Water Parade. 1.4)
1.2 They now place a Meeple in a Water Island Tile, then move a
meeple but CANNOT move this Yokai, as it’s the only card and
this is already their shortest Parade. 2) As they ony have one
Spirit, they cannot acquire more Yokai Cards this turn, so their
Talisman token becomes 1 Spirit and they pass their turn.

Hide: You may choose to either lay one of your Meeples on the World Map face down or move a face down Meeple of yours to an adjacent Island Tile.
Face down Meeples can still be moved and continue to count toward considering an Island Tile sacred as normal. Face down Meeples must be fought
twice in order to be removed from the World Map. The first Fight icon that is resolved against a face down Meeple forces them to reveal themselves
and stand up again, while the resolution of a second Fight icon will remove the Meeple from the World Map as normal.

1.2 1.1 1.2 1.3

In this Example, the Kappa player takes their turn as
1 follows:
1) Flips their green Scroll token to activate their Night Parade
of Wood; 1.1) Places 1 Meeple on the Wood Island Tile “3”, and
Hides (flipping the Meeple face down); 1.2) Places 1 Meeple on the
1.1 Wood Island Tile “4”, removes all 4 Meeples to place a Torii there

was already face down on the World Map; 1.3) Places 1 Meeple on
the Wood Island Tile “5” and Fights the Tanuki Meeple on Water
Island Tile “6” to stand it up, and then Fights the Tanuki Meeple
again to remove it from the World Map.
1.3 2) As they have no Talisman Tokens, they cannot Recruit any
1.3 Yokai Cards.
1.2 3) Turns over their Night Parade of Earth Scroll Token.

Yokai Cards invoked as Shikigami go into your hand, instead of into your Night Parades. You may never have more than 5 Shikigami in your hand at any one time.
Shikigami may be played at any point during the resolution of the Night Parade whose element matches the Shikigami’s own. When played, you must resolve all of the
card’s action icons as normal before being discarded to the bottom of the deck at the end of your Night Parade Phase. A Shikigami with the (Change) action icon
may be played when activating any of your Night Parades, but it does not move to any of your other parades.

 Solo Gameplay
When playing Night Parade of a Hundred Yokai in Solo Mode, you will be trying to defeat Enma, the Great Yokai King in a daring coup. However, the wily
King will use all his strength and guile to retain control of the Fire Throne. When playing in Solo Mode, choose one of the following difficulty levels:

King Enma plays as Onikuma, King Enma plays as Nekomata, King Enma plays one Easy clan plus a Medium clan Starting cards but uses only
Kappa, or Kotengu and their Tanuki or Inugami and their one Clan Meeple and only one Champion Meeple and Champion Card (Hard)
Champion Card & Meeple (Easy) Champion Card & Meeple (Medium)

Set up the game using the Midnight side of the Island Tiles and reveal a single Hidden Plot Card. King Enma starts with their Champion Meeple and Enma
cards in their play area. Both you and King Enma will score points at the end of the game based on this card. You always start the game.

1) Reveals a Level 1 Yokai Card and adds it to his Night Parade of Wood 2) Activates the longest inactive Night Parade available (Wood) 2.1) Activates his 1st Yokai Card
to place 1 Meeple on the Wood Island Tile “5” as the would-be usurper has a Meeple there and uses his Fight action to remove the enemy Meeple. 2.2) Activates his 2nd
Yokai Card to place his Champion Meeple on the “Earth 3” Island Tile as he already has 2 Meeples there. He then removes all of then to place a Torii here. 2.3) Immediately
after use, the King MUST use Change to move his Champion Card to his Water Parade, as this is his shortest parade. 2.4) Activates his 3rd Yokai Card to place 1 Meeple on
the Wood Island Tile “2” as this tile requires fewer Meeples to be considered sacred and activates the Reign ability on his Enma card to place the top Throne Card on the
Challenge Board on the bottom of the stack and then also placeas his top Enma card on the bottom of his stack to finish his turn. 3) Unflips the Brown Scroll Token.

10
 Every round, after you have completed your turn, the King Enma will perform his actions according to the following rules:
At the beginning of King Enma’s
turn, reveal the top Level 1 Yokai
Card from the deck and add it to
1 his appropriate Night Parade. If
the Level 1 Yokai Card deck runs
out, the King will start taking
cards from Level 2.
King Enma then activates his
longest inactive Night Parade.
If there is a tie, he activates the
2 Parade with his Champion Card, If
there is still a tie, he activates the
top most Night Parade.
Golden Rules
Ties Moving onto an Island,
Placing or Fighing:
In any tie, that ends up in another tie
on the Islands, the first line of Islands
always has priority, then the middle
line, then the bottom line Islands.
If both Islands are in the same line,
then it’s always the Island more to
the left.
Moving off an Island:
In any tie, that ends up in another tie
to move one of the King’s Meeples off
an Island: The bottom line of Islands
always has priority, then the middle
line, then the first line Islands. If both
islands are in the same line, then it’s
always the island more to the right.
Completing Torii:
When King Enma has enough
Meeples on an Island Tile for it to
be considered sacred, remove his
Meeples back to his supply and place
one of his Torii there.
All-powerful:
King Enma is all-powerful, and as
such, he ignores all and icons.
At the end of the game, both the player and
King Enma compare their points using the
same Hidden Plot Card. The Clan with the most
points is declared the winner.
King Enma will place his Meeples
on Island Tiles based on the
following order of priority:
- You have at least 1 Meeple there.
- He has Meeples there.
- The Island Tile that requires the
least Meeples to be considered
sacred and can still hold Torii.
King Enma will place his Champion
Meeple on Island Tiles based on the
following order of priority:
- You have your Champion
Meeple there.
- The Island Tile that requires the
least Meeples to be considered
sacred and can still hold Torii.
King Enma will always
Hide the Meeple he has
just placed.
If you win, compare your
Score with the following to
discover your power level:
11
King Enma will always move his
Meeples to an Island Tile that
requires fewer Meeples to be
considered sacred and can still
hold Torii. If this is tied, he will
move to an Island Tile where
you already have Meeples
positioned.
King Enma will always use the Reign
ability from his top Enma Card.
Immediately after each use of this
ability, King Enma will move the
top Enma Card to the bottom of the
stack without shuffling.
When performing the actions on
the cards, follow the rules on the
card combining them with the
general actions rules if necessary.
King Enma MUST move this Yokai
Card to his shortest Night Parade.
If this is tied, he will move it to his
top most Night Parade. The active
carding leaving his Parade still
counts to determine this Parade
length. He cannot move a Yokai to
the SAME Parade they already are.
1-7 8-10
Mortal Oni
King Enma will fight on Island Tiles
where you both have Meeples. In
case of ties, he will remove you first
from those tiles that require the
fewest Meeples to be considered
sacred and can still hold Torii. If this
is also tied, he will remove you from
Island Tiles that match the element
of the Night Parade you most
recently activated.
King Enma will spend all the
Invoke Tokens he can to summon
Shikigami with the most Move
action icons. If there is a tie, he will
take the highest Level Yokai Card. If
there is still a tie, he takes the top-
most card.
King Enma always places his
Shikigami upside down at the
right-most end of its Night Parade
so that you can remember to use
and discard it on his next turn. King
Enma always places Shikigami with
Change action icons in his longest
Night Parade.
King Enma will always spend all the
Banish Tokens he can to flip the
highest level Yokai Card in your
longest Night Parade. If there is a tie
between Night Parades, he will always
choose the top-most one. If there is a
tie between Yokai Card levels, he will
always Banish cards from left to right.
