| Reading the synopsis and seeing the poster, I would never have thought that this was a party board game, and not an adaptation of some all-female thriller manga or mobile game. @Fail_Man_X The shows you mentioned were pretty decent multimedia bishoujo projects with quality production from reputable rights holders. In this case, the project is a complete dark horse, unless you are some kind of Japanese board games enthusiast. I'm afraid that in this case we can't even half-seriously speculate on how much an all-female cast will affect the appreciation of a usually much-criticized genre, since it doesn't even have a manga adaptation to even scratch the surface of. |

| Huh. Has there been other board game based anime? Looks okay enough id maybe check it out depending what else is airing then. Animation doesnt look too good it is choppy looking so they did the low frame rate CG which doesn't work well. Unless im mistaken |

What the hell? This is a board game?
| @VivavideoUser2x Yes, the original game is designed for 7-8 players and about 180 minutes of play according to the Japanese Amazon. However, judging by the photographs of the game, the original concept was more general and clearly far from the moe bishoujo concept of the anime adaptation. @traed I don’t remember exactly the board game, but we already had adaptations of advertising, collectible keychains, a series of Twitter illustrations, etc. Even an adaptation of the Bible from a neo-Pentecostal group. So adapting a board game doesn't seem that surprising. |

| The real question is if any company will even license this in North America. |
