Jisogi is a worker-placement board game about the hard-working people and cutthroat business behind the anime industry. Take on the role of an anime studio, manage your staff, and work to produce an original anime that can survive in a competitive market.

Place Staff cards around your Studio board to unlock different actions based on each staff member’s type. Develop your anime by combining three script parts—Setting, Plot, and Twist—then release it to earn resources and points based on its technical level and how well it matches the current Trend cards.

Named after the Japanese expression jitenshasōgyō, meaning to barely keep a business going, Jisogi challenges you to keep your studio moving while turning your creative vision into a successful anime.
