The Saiga NAK editorial staff participated in the "Momotetsu Reiwa Shokunin" hands-on event, and here is what we learned!
We went to Konami Hong Kong, where the trial event was held!
I arrived at Konami Hong Kong in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong! When we arrived at the venue, we were welcomed by life-size panels of Momotaro, Princess Yasha, Urashima, Kintaro and God of Poverty.
There was also a hat worn by Momotaro at the event!
I would like to experience the game right away, but first, let me explain the game! The venue was decorated with panels of Urashima and Kintaro. We will learn the rules and take on the challenge.
There is also an explanation of Bombee, which causes great damage to players. If possessed, they can increase debts or cause damage to discarded cards, so it is necessary to proceed with the game while firmly planning countermeasures against Bombee.
Mini Bombee transforms from a god of poverty. They give you pocket money and are the best of the Bombies, but you need to plan countermeasures before they turn back into the God of Poverty.
