Kimono Memories

About this board game

Kimono Memories is a competitive game for 1–2 players that takes about 30 minutes, inviting you to explore Kyoto’s quaint streets as a budding photographer captivated by traditional kimonos.

Across the city, locals and tourists wear elegant kimonos, creating a vibrant scene filled with potential photographs. Move through this timeless setting, seek permission to capture kimono-clad figures, and compete for the most memorable collection.

At the heart of the game is a rotating board filled with cards. Players draft cards from this shared display, then place them in their own album pyramids. Each choice helps shape a personal collection while influencing which opportunities remain available to the other player.

• Card drafting: Select cards from a rotating board shared by both players.
• Album pyramids: Place your drafted cards into your own growing arrangement.
• Matching patterns: Collect kimono-clad beauties with matching patterns to build influence.
• Competitive play: Strategize and outmaneuver your opponent to secure the best photo opportunities.

The goal in Kimono Memories is to collect the most kimono-clad beauties with matching patterns and gain the highest influence. Careful drafting and thoughtful placement turn glimpses of Kyoto’s traditional style into cherished memories.

With its focused format for one or two players and an approximately 30-minute playing time, Kimono Memories offers a compact contest set against the graceful atmosphere of Kyoto’s streets.
