Update On Foil Cards

I own you all an update, unfortunately the test print didn't work out. I'm pretty disappointed. 

August Preview: Iconic Artifacts

Hi all! I'm really excited that we made the first patreon goal, and now the Lunatic tier will have sketch art for at least one card! Let's keep going together!

This month brings three powerful cards for your lunatic deck. Small-fry gets Gap Folding Umbrella, a super defense item. Lunatic tier gets Youmu's swords, Roukanken & Hakurouken, as well as the...

Iconic Artifacts

Artifacts are one of the most iconic parts of the Touhou universe. In some cases the artifacts are an intrinsic part of a character, and in some cases they are central to the plot of a Touhou game. Sometimes these powerful items don’t even have an in-universe name and just serve as a McGuffin to push the plot along. But not in this case! We have two strong, iconic items that you can play with...

Gap Folding Umbrella

Hey everyone, Moogs here. Alright this card is a trip, which is probably why I like it so much. I wanted to make a direct upgrade to Supernatural Border. I wanted it to be strong. A high roll on the Lunatic gacha.

First, I did the obvious thing and removed that Powerup type. Item destruction still provides a pressure valve, but it’s not that much stronger than simply ha...

Danmaku!! Flowering Night Physical

I printed a physical copy of Danmaku!! Flowering Night, the April Lunatic tier reward!

First Goal Met!!

With all of your support we've met the first goal!! One Lunatic card each month will be upgraded with a colored sketch. We've already ordered the art for August so look forward to it in a few weeks! 

In more general news, we've been researching small print run shops and one shows real promise. We'd really like to offer cool things like holographic Lily White.

Return to Makai: Revised Incidents

Today we bring you four new incidents to use with any version of the game. Unlike other new incidents, however, these are designed to replace existing cards in the incident deck.  

Without further ado, here are the new cards:  

These are designed to replace the existing incidents...

Freaky Friday

A sage once said, "don't judge a youkai until you've flown a yojana in her hat." I didn't say she was a wise sage. 

This month's new incident, Perfect Possession, is the obligatory Body Swap episode. Everyone gets an extra character card and is locked out of their primary character for roughly one round. 

Given the theming, one might believe we de...

June Preview: The Biggest Incidents and New Characters

Oh my we're $20 away from our first goal! Meeting the first goal means that the Lunatic tier card of the month will be upgraded with a sketch from one of our talented artists. Thank you so much to everyone who has contributed.

Touhou fanworks have expanded to numerous forms and genres of media. We’ve long wanted to capture this in Danmaku!! and from that desire came the concept...

WTB Touhou 18 Characters

Mike comes to Danmaku!! kittened-out with abilities to bring you fortune. She’s quite simple, her Ability lets you redraw any 1pt cards you draw. Her Spell Card is a haymaker attack in the style of Shou. This one is a bit easier to activate since it works with more cards, but she gets no benefit from the cards, where Shou can benefit from the Items she shoots via the Pagoda.

Ch...

Fresh Off the Truck: New Micro-Expansion Preview

Touhou fanworks have expanded to numerous forms and genres of media. We’ve long wanted to capture this in Danmaku!! and from that desire came the concept of “Big Incidents.”

Like incidents, these cards changed some basic game rules. Unlike incidents, they never resolve! Before you sweat too much, no there isn’t a permanent Lily White (yet). As a permanent alternate game m...

Content Interest Poll

Hello everyone! Thank you so much for your support! We're almost at our first goal of sketches for Lunatic tier cards!!!! 

We've shown you most of the types of cards we have to offer. What would you be most interested in seeing in the future? This will let us know what to focus on in the near future.

This One Sparks Joy

Thank you to all of our patreons, it's really amazing to have you here! We're almost at our first goal, soon one Lunatic card will get an upgrade with a sketch art by one of our talented artists!

This month's small-fry tier rewards are a new basic danmaku card that enables teamplay. Unlike usual this card replaces 4-8 Shoot cards in your base game, depending on how much t...

Mid Girls Don’t Cry: Midboss Heroines

Before ZUN started his pattern of stage bosses appearing as the midboss for their own stage, other characters would often make a cameo. Even Reimu and Marisa have shown up as midbosses, so we wanted to try making them into Midboss cards for Danmaku!!.

Usually playable characters and mobs have abilities that are beneficial for themselves, but we wanted to try something different f...

New Basic Shoot: Take the Shot

You want that miko dead but it’s not your turn and you don’t have the range, plus you haven’t finished your sake yet. What is one to do? Get someone else to do it!

Take the Shot is a new basic attack card. Inspired by Spell Assist (in the Lunatic Extra expansion), Take the Shot allows you to give it to others for teamplay. All teamp...

Micro-Expansion: Danmaku!! Flowering Night

Hello everyone, thank you for your patience this month! I’ve got an extra special treat for you though, a micro-expansion! For Big Box, we’ve been toying with the idea of micro expansions. Each micro expansion would change the game in a major way, but in itself be relatively small. This setup forces each expansion to be highly efficient with its card budget, lackluster cards won’t do at a...

Ringo's Dango and Urumi's Stone Baby

Mutiny of Belittled Spirits is the second expansion and third Danmaku!! product we've worked on, and while there is still a lot of thematic space left in the Touhou universe, we have really run up to the edge of the mechanical space. One of the biggest constraints is our complexity budget. We have to constantly balance keeping the gameplay simple and appropriate for a party setting, wh...

Happy Birthday to Danmaku!!

April 28th 2016 was the release of the original base game of Danmaku!! We’ve come a long way since then, I can’t count the number of times we’ve shot, been shot, and been blown up by Lily White.

This month, the Small-fry tier features everyone’s favorite “mom”, Ushizaki Urumi. Ringo is tagging along as babysitter.

New Danmaku!! Expansion: Yama's Law

Everyone, we're hard at work on a new Danmaku!! expansion to support COMPETITIVE PLAY. This will feature all the Danmaku!! flavor you love, now with Extra Crunch!  With the new set, codenamed Yama's Law, we aim to give you the most content for your money, thus we will strive to have as little white space on the cards as possible! Here's a teaser card!

Mechanic Exploration: Character Swapping

I’m sure many people have thought of character swapping mechanics for Danmaku!!. Mamizou and Nue’s character cards are based on it. When it comes to playable cards that change a character however, one runs into several issues.

1. Character swapping should be rare. It becomes a hassle if it happens too much.
2. It’s time consuming for a player to choose a new charac...

New Extra Boss: EX-OTP / All Your Exes

“What is evil, anyway? Everyone knows that youkai are strong of body, yet weak of heart. Scars heal, limbs grow back, and severed heads can be reattached. But a broken heart? Truly for youkai, breaking another’s heart is the most heinous of crimes. They call her 'heroine,' but you know the bea...
