Kitsune Switch (2017)

Kitsune Switch, a.k.a. きつねスイッチ, is an UNO-like card game with hidden identity mechanism.

Players are dealt a role card which is human, fox, or the fox spirit, and a battle is fought between humans and the fox spirit. Foxes are fluid; they ally with the fox spirit if it exists, otherwise they ally with humans. The game is played like UNO; players take turns playing a card which has the same color or number as the top card of discard pile. Each time a card is played, its effect is activated. Players could be forced to change their roles or even eliminated from the game.

The game ends when a player gets rid of all cards in their hand, in which case that player wins the game. All of that player's allies win together, but only if there is an opposing side of the winner. The game also ends when the deck runs out, in which case the side with the lower total value in their hands wins the game if there are two sides. Otherwise the player with the lowest total value in their hand wins the game.

Sometimes you are required to co-operate to win as a team, but you win anyway if you go out. It is an effective strategy to focus on winning alone.

基本的にUNO／ウノです。陣営戦要素とカードに特殊効果があります。陣営を示す正体カードは『人間』、『狐』、『九尾の狐』の３種類で、人間陣営と九尾陣営の２つに分かれています。
ウノ同様、手札を出し切れば自分の陣営ごと勝ちますし、その前に山札が切れた場合は、陣営ごとにカードの合計値を比べ合う判定戦になります。
陣営戦なので協力要素がありますが、陣営はゲーム中、流動的に変化し、いっそ一人勝ちを狙いに行くのも有効な戦略です。
