ぬくみ温泉繁盛記 (Nukumi Onsen Hanjouki)

About this board game

ぬくみ温泉繁盛記 (Nukumi Onsen Hanjouki) is a worker placement game for 1–4 players, with a playing time of about 60 minutes. Set in the world of Japanese hot spring inns, it challenges players to expand their onsen and make it the most popular in the world.

Each player has only three worker meeples to place. Workers are assigned to cards, allowing players to trigger effects and carefully develop their inn. With so few workers available, every placement contributes to the steady growth of your hot spring business.

Cards can also help players gain tiles for expanding their inn. Begin with a single room, then build outward into a broader establishment featuring gardens. The tile-based expansion gives the inn a clear sense of development as it grows from a modest starting point into a more spacious retreat.

• Worker placement: Place three worker meeples on cards to trigger effects.
• Inn expansion: Gain tiles and enlarge your onsen from one room to a wide inn with gardens.
• Flexible player count: Play with 1–4 players, including solitaire play.

ぬくみ温泉繁盛記 combines limited worker placement with the satisfying process of building up an inn tile by tile. Whether played competitively or in its solitaire mode, it offers a focused experience about developing a hot spring destination and pursuing popularity through thoughtful expansion.
