Is there another show that you’ve found about board games out there? Would you want to or have you played Marrakech? It’s streaming through Funimation, and they are dubbing it, so I’ve only watched the dubbed version, which was good. If you enjoy board games, and after one episode, check out this anime. Already this year we had Nemesis from Awaken Realms show up on an episode of South Park, and now we have an anime that is completely about board games. I love to see board games show up in more popular culture. I’m excited to watch the next episode and see where the show goes. Overall, this is a game that I would like to try before I’d add it to a collection, but I can see it being a game that would have a lot of cheering moments as you get the roll that you or the opposite on a low roll. ![]() The game seems like it would play quite quickly as well, which is fun. There seems to be good depth to the game, though, as you try and force your opponents or at least increase the likelihood to land on your rugs so that they have to give you money. So you can hopefully plan some, but you won’t be able to fully plan. This game, from what they showed in the show, seems like a very interesting abstract puzzle with a fair amount of luck thrown in, because Assam moves as few as one space each round, and as many as four, based off of what you roll on the dice. The game goes until everyone has played all of their rugs, then you get money for how many rugs of your color are showing, plus whatever you had from before, and the person with the most money wins. Then you place one of your rugs down, but you can’t fully cover up another rug. Depending on where he ends, you have to pay other players for their rugs, if you land on one of theirs, counting the connected pieces. To do this, you are moving around a character Assam across the board. In the game everyone is a rug salesman trying to get as much money as possible. In the first episode the game was Marrakech. One thing I want to do in these reviews is talk about the games that they are playing in a given episode. It kind of feels like they are using board games to help get their little messages or little bits of character development across, and that’ll be interesting to see how they can tie it all together. ![]() And I think that there is going to be room for the anime to grow. He reminds me of Jet Black from Cowboy Bebop, though, I have to thank Kristen for putting that into my head, but it works wonderfully. The characters, while tropes, are pretty well done, and the shop keeper of the board game store is amazing. That said about the anime, while it might not have set itself apart from some other slice of life animes, it hasn’t been week in telling it’s story. It isn’t that uncommon to see a random copy of Monopoly or something like that in a show, but for an anime to create a store with that much detail it’s impressive. There has clearly been a lot of effort making it seem like an actual board game store and keeping the stock of the store in a modern setting. Even the ones that only had the title in Japanese on the game, I could recognize a lot of them. And not that there are games like Monopoly, Scrabble, Uno, Skip-Bo, etc in the anime and in the game store, there are games like Ice Cool, Marrakech (more to come on that), and so many more in the store. Thus far the anime hasn’t done anything that really stands out, except for the fact that there are board games in there. ![]()
