Mottainai<\/a> is a unique, beautifully-designed game played with a single deck of multi-function cards, which unfolds into a game of diverse strategies and unexpected depth. Although the game plays quickly, in as few as 15 minutes, it can be difficult to wrap one’s head around the game structure for the first time. The components on this page make Mottainai easy to teach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both of these components are designed to fit into the Mottainai Deluxe game box, but they can be printed at any scale you’d like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you use these, let us know how it worked out and what could be improved. Comment below<\/a> or on these files at BoardGameGeek (temple mat<\/a>, teaching guide<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Temple mat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

During a game of Mottainai, this temple mat takes the place of the original temple mat AND the reference card that both come with the game. The front<\/strong> displays a step-by-step guide to all turn actions. The back<\/strong> provides a reference to game-end rules and scoring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
