📖 About This Game
The first fan-made version of Pai Sho to accurately imitate the mysterious board game as it was portrayed in 'Avatar: The Last Airbender'. Key Pai Sho was created with the intention of simplifying and condensing the core elements of existing versions of the game, while simultaneously being able to accurately imitate every move played in the show.
In a battle of wits, two players compete to arrange flower tiles and create a ring of harmony around the centre of the board, all while disrupting their opponent's attempts through a variety of creative means. Using strategic thinking and a heavy dose of creativity, out-position your opponent and claim victory.
Harmonies form between Key Flower tiles, while Special Effect tiles are used to influence the board in varied and original ways. Select the effect tiles that best support your playstyle and invent unique and powerful combinations to surprise your opponent. The first player to create an uninterrupted chain of harmonies around the centre of the board wins.
