(Treat this review as if it's rated 6 instead of 9) In the end, you'll likely not have to worry about ending up with major things to criticise about this show. And if you feel good about cute art and slice of life vibes while also being open to new ideas, this anime is a legit option too. If you are one of MAL's rare board game enthusiasts, Houkago Saikoro Club will almost certainly give you a blast of a time. (Treat this review as if it's rated 7 instead of 9) This anime is able to offer the desired variety. Well played, and a worthy score for someone who might be looking for something comfortable to watch in order to calm down or explore the world of gaming. If today is the first time you've heard of 'Houkago Saikoro Club', then let me tell you, it might just be your best day of the entire month! In any case, engage in this anime's world and get blissfully treated ^-^ Whatever happened, your final score now determines how this game actually concludes: Your pawn has moved forward, has moved to the final spot, netting or losing you points. +1 - in case I am German, I like to feel good about my nationality and/or want to experience something that my country has historically been, and nowadays still is, worldwide known for +1 - when I hear the term 'gaming', I picture things that aren't related to video games 1 - traditional games such as Monopoly, Risk or Clue feel decently complex and are all I need +1 - modern board gaming is something that fascinates me or that I want to learn about +3 - I am interested in what an upcoming board game author needs to worry about, some of the steps required for a board game idea to take form, and perhaps I even tried my hands on an own game creation +1 - terms and names such as Spiel des Jahres, Alex Randolph, Catan, Eurogame/German-style board game, mean something to me +1 - having a vivid imagination is no foreign concept to me and/or I enjoy gamifying parts of my life +1 - people are happy and grow to each other by connecting via shared activities +1 - a colourful/comfortable/picture-book art style gets a thumbs up +1 - plot progression in slice of life anime exists, and it happens via character development +1 - I don't mind if characters in slice of life anime try something new/engage in activities not commonly seen in anime +1 - looking for a slice of life setting that, next to hobbies, also deals with daily problems and interactions in school 2 - cute-girl anime mustn't feature any males in order to be enjoyable +1 - rather innocent and curious girls are someone I enjoy watching +2 - I value the depiction of a growing friendship

Once you reach the end of the board, your final score will determine the outcome of the game/review. On each spot, you decide whether or not you agree with the statement written on it, and if you do, add or subtract the respective points to your personal score. You control the pawn and move it forward on the board, one step at a time. The rules are simple and straightforward. Prepare a way to note or remember your personal score (which starts at zero), place the decision board in front of you, and the pawn on the first spot. After making the three girls meet in said shop, the main bulk of our game (and the actual anime) commences. The remaining unlocked models are now added to the mix (the board game shop+manager and the class representative girl named Midori). As trivial as it might sound, this quest is an adventure to learn about fun and friendship. Initiate their starting situation by allowing them to meet, which results in them starting a quest that they'll try to achieve for the foreseeable future. Prepare the game by taking the two models of the introverted (Miki) and the cheerful (Aya) highschool girls out of the game box. > locked boxes to be opened when instructed > models of 3 girls, board game shop, manager

> Playing time: 5 minutes, potentially leads to another game of 276 minutes > original story and art by Nakamichi Hiroo (this review is structured and meant to be read as if it was a board game manual)
