Tajuto

Players take the roles of Buddhist monks building pagodas in a sacred garden while cultivating their Spirituality. On a turn, a player activates action tiles to draw pagoda floors from a concealed bag and assemble multi-level pagodas, make offerings to gain Meditation points, and acquire permanent tiles that grant abilities or Spirituality. Activating additional actions or buying tiles costs Meditation, forcing trade-offs between immediate construction and long-term growth. The draw-from-the-bag mechanic is tactile: floor pieces decrease in size by level, allowing players to feel for desired sizes but not colors, so risk assessment and probability management guide attempts to pull the right floors. The game ends when the fourth pagoda is completed; the highest Spirituality total wins.
