Once two stacks have been depleted, the game ends and whoever has amassed the most victory points is declared “King of maids!” There are no provisions in the rules for being Queen of Maids, so sorry if that was something that you wanted These cards grant players victory points, make it easier for them to acquire even better cards, or a combination of the two. An example of what the town might look like Stacks of cards are piled in the center of the table, collectively referred to as the “town,” and each turn players have the opportunity to add cards from the town to their deck. Each player starts with a small 10-card deck that they cycle through every few turns. If you’re familiar with Dominion-style deck-building games, then you are already familiar with the basic mechanics of how Tanto Cuore plays. On the flip side, if you enjoy the imagery, this is a rare gem (at least for those of us who don’t speak Japanese) that combines an anime maid theme with very solid strategy game play.
You’d be missing out, though, on a very well done deck-building game. Yep, there’s even some pantsu! I’m not kidding about the game sometimes being provocative! The pictures of the maids range from cute to risqué, so if you can’t stomach cutesy, frilly anime girls or are embarrassed by lewd pictures featuring maids in provocative positions, then this may not be the game for you. Not serious is sometimes a bit of an understatement It’s a rather silly premise, and in turn the game doesn’t take itself too seriously. Welcome to Tanto Cuore! The one and only English language anime maid themed deck-building game! (If I’m wrong, and there are others, please let me know, I want to play them!) In Tanto Cuore, you take on the role of a mansion owner and employ a staff of maids in an attempt to run the best kept house. My synopsis will thus be broken up into three sections – an explanation of the original game, and a section for each expansion explaining what each expansion adds to the original game. The expansions do add interesting and worthwhile new mechanics and variability, but in my opinion they work best as additions to a solid base set. The original game does the best job of allowing you to enjoy the main game mechanics. Although the expansions are standalone games, I’ll state upfront that I recommend if you only purchase one set that it be the original game. My reason for doing covering all three is that, although the original game is fun, the expansions include some changes to game play that have a significant impact in my opinion, and I will be pointing those things out separately, as they may affect your decision about whether or not you would like to pursue the expansions. In this review, I cover Tanto Cuore, and the first two expansions – Expanding the House, and Romantic Vacation.
