En-nichi

Mugen Gaming has announced that En-nichi, a cozy Japanese festival board game, will soon debut on Kickstarter in an all-new English edition! This launch marks Mugen Gaming’s first partnership with Vala Foundry, a new tabletop publishing division of Vala Marketing.

Designed to capture the atmosphere of a traditional matsuri, En-nichi brings players together in a cozy competition to collect prizes. The board game is designed by Japanese designers, and is complete with inviting stalls, festival games, and adorable art. It is perfect for families and casual gamers who are seeking something authentically Japanese while maintaining quick and easy-to-learn gameplay.

The upcoming Kickstarter campaign will invite backers to experience En-nichi in English for the first time, featuring a localization that preserves the warmth, simplicity, and festival atmosphere that made it a favorite in Japan.

Sword World RPG

Mugen Gaming has released the first official English-language materials for Sword World RPG, Japan’s most beloved fantasy tabletop roleplaying game. Available now as a free downloadable PDF, the Sword World RPG Quickstart is an early version/early release of the 2.5 system, and includes everything new players need to begin adventuring: an overview of the core rules, a solo adventure, a ready-to-play one-shot campaign, and pre-generated characters.

First published in 1989, Sword World RPG was created by Group SNE and quickly became Japan’s most influential tabletop roleplaying game. Built on a distinctive 2d6 system and renowned for its emphasis on teamwork, structured play, and accessible storytelling, Sword World has been a cultural force for over 35 years, inspiring novels, actual-play series, anime adaptations, and video games. More than 10 million copies of Sword World books – including rulebooks, replay books, and tie-in novels – have been sold to date.

The release of the Sword World RPG Quickstart marks the first step toward the game’s full English debut, which will be launched via crowdfunding early next year. More information about the upcoming crowdfunding campaign, release timeline, and additional game support will be shared in the coming months.
