After a successful debut and more than 8,000 units distributed worldwide, JISOGI: Anime Studio Tycoon is returning!! To meet the incredible demand, we are excited to announce a "Version 1.5" reprint. This edition is very similar to the original Founders Edition, but it features updated rules and components, allowing us to offer a more affordable price point for new players who love board games and anime.
We are very happy to share that we achieved the crowdfunding goal for the campaign within 2 hours of the release, making this our biggest Kickstarter launch yet! Thank you so much for your support!

Why board games?
We strongly believe in this hobby.
We have seen extraordinary game design/world-building concepts given life in the hands of small creative teams.
We have seen people of all ages reconnect outside of the virtual landscape.
We have seen beautiful products carefully designed to impress an audience that cares deeply about the quality of the craft.
Our mission is not only to be part of this trend but also to help elevate and connect the Japanese scene to the international community.

なぜボードゲーム？
ESPER STUDIOは、ボードゲームが持つ魅力と可能性を信じています。木製コマを動かし、カードを並べるたびに生まれる物語。ボードゲームは、人と人をつなげる魔法のような道具です。
デジタルが中心の時代に、ボードゲームは顔を合わせて楽しむ時間を作り出します。誰かと笑い合い、戦略を練り、驚きの展開に感動する――その体験は特別です。また、職人技が光る美しいデザインや手触りの良いパーツが、プレイヤーにワクワクを届けます。
私たちESPER STUDIOは、日本発のユニークな視点やストーリーを、ボードゲームという形で世界に届けたいと考えています。ただの遊び道具ではなく、新しい価値や文化を紡ぎ出すものを目指して、これからも挑戦を続けていきます。
