Anime Studio Board Game from Team in Japan Successfully Crowdfunded

Tokyo, Japan – October 22, 2024

Esper Game Studio is excited to announce the launch of JISOGI: Anime Studio Tycoon, now live on Kickstarter. This innovative board game invites players to step into the shoes of an anime studio manager, balancing creative storytelling with the harsh realities of the business. With deep industry connections and collaborations with experienced artists like Eisuke Gou, Senkawa Teien, and Thomas Romain the game offers an authentic experience inspired by real stories from behind the scenes in the anime world.

The name JISOGI (derived from "jitenshasōgyō" 自転車操業) reflects the delicate balance required to keep a business afloat—just like a bicycle that must keep moving forward to avoid falling. True to its theme, players will navigate challenges such as managing limited resources, hiring talent, and creating original stories, all while keeping up with market trends and staying ahead of their competitors.

Designed for 1-4 players and with a playtime of 60-90 minutes, JISOGI blends strategic gameplay with entertaining insights into anime production. Whether you're a fan of board games, anime, or business simulators, the game offers layers of depth that cater to both casual players and experienced boardgamers.

After 2 hours live on Kickstarter, the game was already fully funded! The campaign will run until November 21, 2024.
