Playing as the facility manager of a run down love hotel, you need to keep your hotel clean, managed the onslaught of customers and satisfy the needs of VIPs. Earn your salary and don't get irritated when someones messes with your cleaning schedule.

You play in a clockwise order and try to clean the love hotel level by level, earning cards for every room you clean - even multiple per level. Missed a spot? Play a turnaround card, yell "HANTAI!" and clean up behind you.

But be aware that any opponent might slap your hand or yell "AKAN!" when you play a card, voiding anything you just played. If you are lucky, another player counters it with an "AKAN-WA!", nulling the effect of the Akan. These are stress cards.

Cancellation cards are useless - unless you have two of them, which turns them into a wild card. The latter concept allows you to use any two same cards of any type as a wild card. It can take the value of any cleaning order or act as turnaround, stress or even P.O.R.N. cards.

P.O.R.N.? Politicians, Oyabun, Rabbis, Numismaticians. These cards you can play any time in your turn, making it a special round where no one may replenish cards from the draw pile.

Once the pile is empty and as soon as no one can or want to play any cards anymore, the game ends. You count your collections piles. "OMEDETO GOZAIMASU" to the player with the most cards.

From Heldbergs Games:

A fuckin’ funny card game for 2-4 hardcore facility managers aged 37, give or take.

Do yer remember Ichien-San? Dead right, the one from the Yatai stall of the Tekiya by the temple in the park!

First she proper booted the opposition up the arse then went on to become Top Dog of the local Tekiya.

Anyhow she's moving on from the Greasy Spoon lark now and with her business cred she's mooching into the Love Hotel game and wants to crack it bigtime.

The old fashioned Love Hotel joints look knackered mate. Dodgy, worn out furniture, no-one's bothering with 'em anymore. Scruffy dives, they give everyone a bad name and leave the managers skint. Ichien-San knows the score mate, she's gonna blow it all out and build the biggest mega Love Hotel chain in Osaka.

For that, she needs you lot, the best managers out there, no problem! You can expect top dosh, mega bonuses and fab perks, at least that's the idea. 'cause you lot are the legit movers and shakers in this game! You're the crew that cleans, hustles and busts a gut in the shadows, keepin' the joints up and runnin. You're out of sight yet every room's got your unique stamp. The smartest mover who proper sorts things out can pack the rooms out with punters. That'll bring in not just the dosh but also the respect you crave from Ichien-San.
