From BoardGameGeek
In the card game Sensu, players collect Japanese folding fans, trying to collect fan cards worth exactly 15 in their hand. Once they do, they can play that combination of cards to redeem one or more of the cards in it, using the redeemed cards over time to build their personal fans. The first player to complete the third fan wins, but the Advanced Game also adds new rules (Power Tokens, Power Bonus Markers, Great Fans). Includes rules for a solo game. Please note: The current version from 2025 is a new edition of the game that won the 2023 Gioco Inedito contest, that originally awarded a limited edition publication under the DV Games label. The old version from 2023 has slightly different rules and no Advanced Game.
