Tanto Cuore

About this board game

Tanto Cuore is a Japanese deck-building card game for 2–4 players, with games lasting about 45 minutes.

Each player takes the role of the Lord of a mansion, hiring maids to fill out their house and strive to become the King of Maids. Its central mechanism is similar to Dominion, as players acquire cards that shape their household and their path to victory.

The objective is straightforward: the player with the most Victory Points at the end of the game wins. Victory Points come from employing a variety of maids and Love cards, which support different strategies.

• Employ maids to develop your mansion.
• Use Love cards to pursue different approaches.
• Keep Private Maids in play for recurring special powers.
• Deal with sickness and bad habits that can reduce your Victory Points.

Private Maids remain available to use their special powers each turn. Some provide bonuses, while others affect opponents in negative ways, creating additional interaction between the mansions.

Your household is not always safe from interference. Opponents can make your maids sick or give them bad habits, imposing negative effects and decreasing the Victory Points your maids provide.

Tanto Cuore presents its maid theme through Japanese anime-style art. The cards, dividers, and manual all fit inside an easy-to-transport box, making the game convenient to take wherever you go.
