Night Parade of One Hundred Demons: Hyakki Yagyou

Big hands mode!

This major incident is composed of two opposing forces. Larger hands allow players more defense and a reward for defeating opponents means more aggressive plays. The fiction here could be that they got eaten, but I like to think everyone is having a drink in their honor. 

PS: Gensokyo is 100% a place where the murderer shows up to the funeral and drinks all the ...

Rage Against the Miko: Guerilla Live

Good evening, Gensokyo!! Who loves punk? Everyone!? Oh you don’t? TOO BAD! 

Guerilla Live is a new major incident in Big Box. Formerly Pocket Youkai, we decided instead to get some sick Choujuu Gigaku art for this card. 

For major incidents in particular, we took care to make all of them fair and fun. Guerilla Live gives everyone at the ...

Lunatic Tier Major Incident: Easy Mode

It's okay to play on Easy Mode, right? Right?

We don't often do meme cards, but this one insisted upon itself. Easy Mode is one of our first Major Incidents. It sits around making spell cards easier to activate with no downside.

After a long day of resolving incidents, sometimes you just want to play a superheroine. But if you don't want Easy Mode, Master Plan is right there to allo...

Small-Fry Tier Major Incident: Double Spoier

It's time for a DRAMATIC REVEAL!! Just as soon as it's my turn...

Double Spoiler is a Major Incident that lets everyone with a hidden role pretend to be an Extra Boss. Unlike the Extra Boss however, you can't do it at instant speed, so it's possible to shoot someone down before they have a chance to reveal their evil plots — which is something the Heroine will want to d...

Major Incidents

Incidents are one of the first major mechanics in Danmaku!!, shipping with the original base set. Lore-wise, incidents are integral to Touhou's setting. They are the impetus that drives the stories in each game, introduce us to new characters, and push the overarching narrative along.

In Danmaku!!, incidents serve another role. They mix up the normal gameplay, add some i...

Danmaku!! Wolf of Black Market

Wolf of Black Market is an expansion to Danmaku!! that can be played by itself or in combination with any other expansions. Wolf of Black Market expands on the card exchanging introduced in Lunatic Extra by adding a market row and several always-available animal spirits that can be purchased by exchanging car...

Wolf of Black Market Patreon Preview

Here it is! Big Box's new full sized deck is the Shop deck! This deck, combined with the Spirits deck, turns Danmaku!! into a pseudo deckbuilder game. 

With Wolf of Black Market, everyone gets to exchange for cards from the market row, giving you agency over your build during the game. Spirit cards flip over to grant you bonus points for making exchanges. 

The non-combatan...

Alice in Doorland: World of Doors

Pick a door! Any door! Wait, not that door!

Here at Mystery Parfait, we believe in supporting your ability to get yourself in trouble.

This month’s Lunatic reward is World of Doors. An incident with infinite possibilities! You are given three-ish choices: manifest your incident, prevent another incident from manifesting, or remove another player’s choice. Your c...

Bonus: Dolls' War WIP

(Art not final you know the drill)

We're getting art for the new cards and decided we wanted a composite piece of the doll cards. All four doll cards will have art done by Deji, this shows the composite playmat version! I think I'm going to grab one when we make the playmat order. 

I'll be getting this month's content out this weekend, and next month we will drop Big Box's new ...

Bonus: After Party Art

Hello everyone, thank you for your support this month.

Before we get into May's rewards, I wanted to share this artwork from Deji/Beatriz. This is the culmination of the Party series of cards, After Party. Things have really gotten crazy with this art, and Reimu who has been noticeably absent is pissed off about something. Is it because the party is being held at her home...

Big Box's Lunatic Deck

Here it is! Big Box's lunatic deck. A full one in four cards have been replaced or updated. The changes here focus on leaning into what makes the lunatic deck fun — powerful, fun, and impactful effects drawn at random. To this end we trimmed cards that led to unfun play patterns while adding new over-the-top cards.

To that effect, Voile is now exclusively a main deck ca...

Upcoming collab teaser

For years we've worked hard to get every Touhou character we can into Danmaku!! (except for PC98, which isn't even real), and with the upcoming Big Box expansion we're finally there! But then where do we go? Sadly there just aren't enough Touhou characters.

Then it dawned on us, if we expand Danmaku!! to include content from outside of the Touhou universe, we can not onl...

Generosity's Rewards: Yatadera Narumi

Narumi falls into the nice girl bucket of Touhous, so we wanted to give her a teamplay kit. Following the folk tale of a man's generosity, you can give Narumi a card and she'll turn you to stone...err give you a blessing. Either way you get better and defend yourself against an attack. Note that Narumi cannot refuse to give her blessing.

Her Spell Card, "Instant Bodhi," allows her to give...

Saki's Second Kick

Saki had a typo that resulted in her getting 4 cards with her Spell Card. That's been fixed.

Nobody here but us trees: Yamashiro Takane

Takane in Danmaku!! is a full stealth build. She wants to go unnoticed most of the time to make the most of her abilities. If she is noticed, she wants to assure her opponent she totally isn't going to attack them as soon as they look elsewhere. 

Besides keeping her mouth shut and bluffing, Takane's spell card allows her to up and vanish. Only AoE or other non-choosing effec...

T'was I who ate the dragon: Himemushi Momoyo

Our "favorite" game is the "ZUN stated a character's power is this...what does that mean" game. Of course it's all danmaku flavoring, but sometimes we have very little to go off of! Particularly when the character profile states this may be completely false.

Momoyo's ability to eat dragons gave us some pause. Initially there were lots of Minecraft jokes, an even a Minecraft conce...

Touhou's Dark Horse: Kurokoma Saki

Thank you for supporting us again this month.

Saki's ability is "unmatched leg strength" and we chose to represent this as her getting an absolute ton of Power cards. She starts with two, her spell card lets her pick up to two more, which also triggers the other half of her ability: Attacking while gaining or losing a power.

I really enjoy this kind of evocative game action. It shou...

Extending Aaaaaaaaaarrrm!!

Today's update brings a new Lunatic card: Kappa Arms. This artifact lets you build yourself a little fortress of main deck items. Your shiny metal graspers also resolve  incidents with robotic efficiency. You choose when to end the effect by replacing Kappa Arms with another artifact.

As part of our updates for Big Box, we're adding even more artifacts to the Lunatic...

Cutting the Old Maid

As part of our updates for Big Box, we're modifying the Lunatic deck to be all hits, no misses. This means that you're always going to get a good card. It may not be the card you wanted, but it will still be good. This means replacing Focus, the much maligned bad draw of the Lunatic deck.

Gale Geta is a greatly upgraded Focus. Serving the...

Shop discounts for Team 9

Baka999 will get you 27% off your Danmaku!! store order! For orders going to the USA the date to reach its destination by Christmas is December 17th. This is also when the coupon expires. 

Unfortunately we will not be able to release Big Box in 2022 as we had planned. We will post again with more updates. 

Tsukasa Update

I've been told the edit I made to the original post didn't send out an alert like I requested. Based on your feedback we have buffed Tsukasa. We welcome you to provide feedback on all of our Patreon content. Thank you for enjoying Danmaku!!

Oho. How very interesting. Tsukasa whispers.

Edit: Based on your feedback we have buffed Tsukasa. We welcome you to provide feedback on all of our Patreon content. Thank you for enjoying Danmaku!!

Tsukasa's card is fun. She immediately puts the entire table into a prisoner's dilemma. She insists you take her advice, and you can ignore her, but that doesn't mean other people will. Being a team game, Tsukasa is going ...

Eika limbos into Danmaku!!

Being a child, Eika does her own thing while the regular Danmaku!! game progresses. The game gives her better card choice and a bonus to both Range and Distance. The reward is a possibly huge bonus to Range and Distance. The difficulty is maintaining a balance of card point values, and she can't opt out. This idol's show must go on while under a hail of bullets!

Children's Limbo ...

Flowering Night v2

A consistent feedback we got about the first version of Flowering Night and the Hanabi deck was that it wasn't exciting. Players routinely just ignored it. That's the last thing we want from an expansion, so we revisited the rules for it. 

Today we're re-releasing Flowering Night with updated cards. Keeping with the number theme each card has an effect based on its sequence in the de...

Hatate's Photoblog

Thank you for supporting us this month!  

Hatate flies into Danmaku!!, completing the crow tengu crowd.  

Going back to Shoot the Bullet and Double Spoiler, we wanted Hatate to be an appropriate player 2 to Aya, so she also shoots the bullet but in practice she works quite differently. Photograph tokens can be exchanged directly for danmaku cards...

Megumu and the Stars of Destiny

As many of you know, when designing cards we give ourselves a few different budgets to balance. Power and Complexity are the big ones, but Megumu features a different kind of budget: Card Selection. But Moogs! Card Selection is a type of Power! Yes my little fairy, but the devil is in the details. 

Like a carnival tarot reader with a gambling addiction, Megumu discards and draws card...

October Preview: Yuuma Timelapse

Thanks to everyone who supported us this month! Spooky season is upon us and we've got new Touhous for you! 

This month's Lunatic tier card is Toutetsu Yuuma, the scary goat lady with shark teeth(???) She was illustrated by Gina Chacón who tells us she really had fun with this one!

Small-fry tier also gets y...

Gluttony Not Meant to Exist in this World

Yuuma is the latest Touhou in both the main games and Danmaku!! and I really like her build. She likes big dinners

A counter-attacker like Yukari, Yuuma avoids danmaku by eating them, and each shot she eats builds towards her big counter attack at the end of her turn. It’s just one easy to miss attack, but it really adds up over a game.

The fun really comes in when thereâ...

Misumaru’s Magatama Madness

This magatama crafting goddess comes from Touhou 18 straight into Danmaku!!’s Big Box.

Misumaru’s magatama crafting wants some explanation. A team player, she wants to buff herself and her allies by crafting her Magatama. Magatama are Powers but they also retain the card they were. If you give a magatama to an ally, you can activate Misumaru’s spell...

This is Final Boss Power! Underground Sun & Onbashira

This month we add to our collection of high-tier artifacts two new ones courtesy of the Moriya Shrine. 

First, for all you birdbrains out there who hate planning your turn, Underground Sun makes it so you don't have to! Who knows what you'll be playing each turn, it's a surprise to everyone! You're sure to be busy with that full hand though!

Onbashira is like an upgraded Mini-H...
