Àiyé

A mancala-building game set in an afrofuturistic civilization that values harmony and collective strength. Players sow energy seeds across columns of cards, activating the final column and its abilities. They expand their personal mancala, summon characters, gain masks, and use card effects to collect resources, move cards or seeds, and block opponents. Mask cards provide end-game scoring conditions, with the game ending when a player gains a fourth mask or reaches 18 cards.
