Hunted: Kobayashi Tower (2nd Edition)

About this board game

Hunted: Kobayashi Tower (2nd Edition) is a fast-paced game listed for 1–2 players, with a play time of approximately 30 minutes and a design centered on solo play. You arrive at Kobayashi Tower with roses and expensive chocolate for your wife Sharon, only to discover that terrorists have seized the building and taken her hostage.

You managed to avoid capture, but Sharon is somewhere inside the skyscraper. Now you must work your way through the building, take out the terrorists, rescue your wife, and escape alive while the terrorists hunt you down.

Every card in Hunted: Kobayashi Tower has multiple uses, creating constant pressure and difficult decisions. You must decide which cards to discard and which to activate, often choosing between immediate advantages and the options you may need later.

Success depends on balancing three approaches:

• Running to make progress through the tower
• Fighting to deal with the terrorists
• Hiding to avoid being hunted down

The second edition features updated systems for events, tests, and HP, refining the tense choices at the heart of the game. Each decision helps determine whether you can reach Sharon and get out of Kobayashi Tower alive.

Presented in a VHS case, this edition combines a focused rescue story with quick, pressurized card decisions. If you enjoy compact solo experiences where every card can serve more than one purpose, the struggle to survive inside the tower offers a tense challenge from beginning to end.
