T-MODE 2013 Event: Janken Wars

April 11, 2013 / Renee / No comments

Janken Wars is an interactive game where players battle each other for crystals. Battles are won or lost by Jan- Ken- Pon (Rock-Paper-Scissors). The individual or team with the most crystals by the end of the convention earns the title of Janken Champion.

This is a game designed to inspire interaction with others and making new friends. Cosplay is encouraged, and battling in character as your cosplay makes the game even more fun.
