Overview

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

The language option is important. Please choose a language that the all players can think about words.

   1. If half or more players agreed, the word chain succeeded! The next player should chain artwork name with the succeeded one.
   2. If less than half players agreed, the word chain failed. The turn player discard the played card and draw a new card. The next player should continue with the previous artwork name.
