Back then, I made a project using felt, and I found that although the material\u2019s details weren\u2019t particularly fine, its unique texture and fabric qualities effectively masked the roughness of handmade work. Therefore, if I ultimately decide to make this board game, I will use felt to craft the game board, cards, and other essential pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full

four smaller areas.

The remaining cards are then placed randomly by the DM.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After completing the steps above, players roll <strong>two four-sided dice<\/strong> to determine the first small area they will enter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the roll immediately sends the player to the <strong>final Boss area<\/strong>, the DM rolls two dice again and redirects the player to a different small area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once Boss locations are fixed, players are prevented from entering the final Boss area until all other areas have been explored. Any roll that lands on the Boss area before this condition is met instead prompts the DM to reroll and send the player to an unexplored area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Access to the final Boss area is only granted after all remaining areas are cleared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1\">These movement rules are inspired by a Japanese horror board game called Hako Onna. In the game, players choose between investigable spaces on the board, where they may either discover useful items or encounter Hako Onna, resulting in elimination and a role shift into one of her servants, who then turn against their former teammates.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2\">During Hako Onna\u2019s turn, other players are required to close their eyes, leaving them unaware of her exact movements.
