Review of 100% Orange Juice 06-08-2014, 07:08 PM

100% Orange Juice is a board game that is greatly influenced by anime, so i decided to put in the anime/manga section versus pc gaming. Grab the game here: http://store.steampowered.com/app/282800/
This game is meant for atleast four of your otaku friends. It's like Mario Party. 100% Orange Juice is a very fun virtual board game that has a good mix of skill and chance. A distinctive feature is that you choose your set of cards, but the cards are all added to the same common deck -- which means your choice of cards (many of which have effects that aren't even specific to the user) ought to be ones that can benefit yourself even if other people use them.
Additionally, this is the first doujin (i.e. Japanese indie) game that I've seen where the localizers have not just vastly improved the game's functionality before release (such as changing the original password-based multiplayer to a Steam lobby based multiplayer), but are continuing to work on major new features, and even rebalancing the game based on player feedback. The active community also helps provide feedback and suggestions.
tl: dr If you love anime and have friends who do also, buy some saki and have some fun.
