Play as a spirit of the forest!
In Bitoku, players take on the role of Bitoku forest spirits on their journey to transcendence, with the goal of ascending and becoming the next great forest spirit. To do this, they will have the help of the yokai, the kodamas and the various pilgrims who accompany them on their way.
It's a worker placement and management game with multiple paths to victory.

During the game
Players will have yokai represented by the cards that make up their hand, which they will have to place in the right places and at the right times in order to take maximum advantage of the abilities they offer. In addition, during the game, players can earn more yokai cards for their deck, which allows them to increase their game options and achieve a higher score. Each player also has three yokai guardians that they can send to the large areas of the forest on the main board in order to get all kinds of new options that they can play during the game. These options can be structures they build in certain areas of the forest, soul crystals that generate resources when certain actions are performed, and many more. Players also have the option of helping mitamas, lost souls seeking redemption, by using chinkon fireflies.

Between strategy and spirituality
There really is a wide range of actions to perform, not to mention the personal realm where players can put in another extra layer of strategy while managing the Pilgrims. Pilgrims are followers of the player who embark on journeys of contemplation and reflection and then share with the Bitoku the experiences and knowledge they have gained along the spiritual path.
