Kokoro: Avenue of the Kodama

The enchanted forest of the kodama is flourishing. But with so much growth, the ancient paths to the sanctuaries within have become overgrown and lost. Now the forest guardians call upon you, their loyal kodama, to restore these paths. Help your kodama build these paths, gather offerings for the guardians, and win their favor. 

Kokoro is an exciting family game that can be played with up to eight players! Each player has a forest map to draw their paths and turns are simultaneous so the game plays quickly. Connecting your sanctuaries to offerings will gain you favor. Choose wisely because you never know exactly when the sanctuary will score. And you shouldn't be too greedy, if a sanctuary is not connected to more offerings than your previous sanctuary, you lose points!

Kokoro: Avenue of the Kodama is a game for 2-8 players that plays in 15 minutes. Designed by Eilif Svensson and Kristian Amundsen Østby, and originally released as Avenue. Kokoro includes all the rules of Avenue, but with dry-erase boards instead of paper scoring sheets. Kokoro also introduces a new "B-side" forest map, with a variable set-up that gives you 90 different starting configurations. 

We are also introducing a new mechanic: decrees. Decrees give everyone new path drawing option(s) and/or scoring rule(s) for each game. With the dry-erase boards, random set-up and decrees, you can play as much as you want and always face a new challenge.
