About this board game

Tofu Kingdom, also known as Princess Legend, is a deduction game for 3–8 players that takes about 30 minutes to play.

Seven characters shape the mystery, including Prince Mochi and Princess Tofu, the prince’s love. One player assumes the role of Prince Mochi and asks each of the other players one question, trying to determine who is secretly playing Princess Tofu.

The answers are not always straightforward. Depending on the cards they hold, the other players must either tell the truth or lie when responding to the prince’s questions. Prince Mochi must listen carefully, compare the answers, and make a final guess about Princess Tofu’s identity.

  1. Prince Mochi asks each other player one question.
  2. Players answer truthfully or deceptively according to their cards.
  3. Prince Mochi chooses the player believed to be Princess Tofu.

The selected player wins the round whether the guess is right or wrong, then receives the number of points shown on their role card. This creates an intriguing twist: Princess Tofu benefits from being chosen, but the prince must still rely on deduction to make the most informed decision possible.

Tofu Kingdom combines hidden roles, question-driven deduction, and changing incentives in a compact social game. Each round challenges players to interpret what they hear while considering whether the answers are meant to reveal the truth or conceal it. The first player to accumulate 7 points wins.

Released in 2015, Tofu Kingdom offers a focused test of observation and judgment for groups looking for a game built around questions, deception, and a decisive final choice.
