I am pleased to announce that the Otomo expansion is now available to play as an alpha variant!
This expansion contains 19 new cards: 2 for the first half, 2 for the second half, 8 new signings, 4 new motivation cards, and replacement cards for Nankatsu Fans, Toho Fans and Genzo Wakabayashi.
This version only adds the new cards to the base game. There is currently no plan to bring the solo mode, the 2v2 mode or the dice cards to Board Game Arena. Check out the physical game for those!
The cards are currently only available in English and Spanish. German speaking players will be shown the English version.
The plan is to move the expansion quickly to beta and then to a proper release, so please try to test it as extensively as you can!
Note that the update touched on a lot of core mechanics, which could bring bugs to the base game too. Please report any bug you can find to the tracker.

A few clarifications:
- Tetsuo Ishida (can be played over the limit): to play this card over the play field limit, you have to be the person playing when the limit is reached. You can then buy it from the bench or play it from your hand. If the opponent reaches the limit, you will not be given the opportunity to play the card.
- Tetsuo Ishida can currently not be played using Confrontation or Masao Nakayama (play a card from your deck). This is a known issue that should be fixed before beta.
- Mitsuru Sano (reduce the limit): this is an optional ability that you have to enable (if you so choose). You can only do so if there's enough room on the field.
- Makoto Soda (roll a die to get a die modifier token): you can use reroll abilities on this die roll, but if you do, they'll be considered used for the shoot phase at the end of the round
- Halves still last the same amount of rounds, meaning three cards will be discarded from each before the game instead of one
