Overview

"Illustori"(イラストリー) is a word chain game where you name artwork cards. The artwork name that the turn player chooses can be a sentence, a quote, an onomatopoeia, or anything. All it needs for chaining is the agreement from the other players.

The language option is important. Please choose a language that all players can understand.

Game rules

    1. Select a card and input its name that chains the last artwork name.
