Become a demon hunter as you track down and defeat the evil Oni in this miniatures game set in a fantasy feudal Japan!
OKKO CHRONICLES is a game for 2-5 players which plays between 60-120 minutes. Set in the heart of the Palace of Mists, the legendary comic book hero Okko and his traveling companions must hunt down powerful Oni (demons) and thwart their dark conspiracies.
Beyond the Gates of Jigoku
This new expansion compels Okko and his band of intrepid demon hunters to pass through the hellish Gates of Jigoku to fight its demonic denizens in their own realm. But beware, for in the dark and desolate domain of the oni, their corruption is much more powerful than anything your adventurers have experienced in the world of the living!
Oni Hunters
This expansion gives you the opportunity to play new scenarios or replay your favorite scenarios, without the need for an Oni Player by introducing both cooperative and solitaire modes to your Okko Chronicles games. Now the game is playable for 1 to 5 players !
Miniatures Storage Box
A box to store all the miniatures from Okko Chronicles.
This expansion includes several new tiles representing the hellish environments of Jigoku.
Not bound by the physical laws of the mortal world, this nightmarish realm seems to conform only to its own twisted and devious logic.
As a result, the Jogoku tiles can rotate, flip or even be replaced entirely during the course of a game, making adventures in the ever-changing kingdom of the oni an extremely disconcerting prospect…
The following symbols are used on these new tiles to tell you how they are revolved:
At the beginning of the game, each Hero takes a card to track their current level of corruption and its effects as they explore the lands of Jigoku.
The longer a hero remains in these accursed lands, the more likely they will be to fall under the influence of its evil influences.
Fortunately, some of their equipment may mitigate the harmful effects of Jigoku’s rampant corruption.
Overview of the Cooperative / Solo system:
This expansion allows everyone to play the Okko Chronicles scenarios as Heroes, without the need for one of them to take on the role of the Oni and its agents.
Overview of the Cooperative / Solo system:
At the end of each Strategy phase, players draw the top card from the Adventure deck:
As the various Stretch Goals are unlocked, they will be added to the Beyond the Gates of Jigoku and Oni Hunters expansion boxes.
Okko is a comic book that chronicles the adventures of a ronin and his companions as they hunt demons and other evil creatures across the continent of the Pajan.
The saga is divided into 5 cycles, each inspired by a critical element that sets the tone of the adventure’s narrative: The Cycle of Water, The Cycle of Earth, The Cycle of Air, The Cycle of Fire and The Cycle of Emptiness.
HUB, the author of the Okko saga, has created many new illustrations and unique characters that will accompany Okko and his companions in their latest adventure.
Okko Chronicles miniatures are on average 35mm in height. This scale is based on the height to the eyes of an adult human character.
Some miniatures will be much larger, while others will have smaller proportions, depending on the characters they represent.
For us, the quality of the miniatures is a priority and you can expect a level of detail equivalent to those shown here.
If you wish to order more than one copy of the game, it is possible to add as many Ronin (€80), Hunter (€45) or Master Hunter (€125) pledges as you want. Shipping costs will be reduced for each additional copy added!
And of course, each pledge is accompanied by all unlocked Stretch Goals!
All costs shown are in Euro (€) and are based on the exchange rate posted at the launch of this campaign (approx. €1 = $1.13).
Any pledges that are confirmed after the close of the ‘pledge manager’ will be dispatched at a later date from our European distribution hub, which may significantly increase the estimated shipping costs above.

Born in 1974, Arnaud Boudoiron has worked in a variety of sectors: press, publishing, advertising, comics and sculpture. He began a career as a sculptor for Rackham at the end of the 1990s. He is a talented artist and a gaming fanatic.

A passionate board gamer, Nicolas spends most of his free time immersed in their worlds. When he is not busy inventing new role-playing settings, he polishes the rules of his own system, modifying or honing the game mechanics of the games or preparing prototypes (though his wife would prefer him to be doing the dishes).
Nicolas likes big games, whether they contain small wooden cubes or miniatures, provided that the theme is strong and is conveyed well through its mechanics.
A fan of Hub’s work on Okko, and with dungeons crawlers some of his favorite games, Nicolas could not refuse a trip into the Pajan Empire with Okko and his friends. The RED JOKER is pleased to introduce his Solo and Cooperative game modes for Okko Chronicles!
Having graduated in sociology and Internet & multimedia engineering, specializing in transmedia, Andoniya joined The RED JOKER earlier in 2017 as its Community Manager.
A gamer in her free time, Andoniya particularly likes Vampire The Masquerade. She also loves games that tell real stories and allow her to play characters of her choice. A little geeky, she loves Goldorack (Grandizer), Pokemon and the X-Men. Her favorite heroine is none other than Wonder Woman.
This is our sixth crowdfunding campaign and we have already successfully delivered the following campaigns, The Valley of the Kings, Fortresses & Clans, Guardians’ Chronicles: The Clash of Heroes and the first printing of Okko Chronicles. Meanwhile, our most recent campaign, Highway to Hell, is currently in production.
In regard to these two new expansions to the Okko Chronicles line; many of their core components have been finalized before the launch of this Kickstarter campaign, and many of the add=ons and Stretch Goals are already well into their pre-production. As a result, these should be ready to go to print before the end of this campaign.
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A ZERO RISK PROJECT OR CAMPAIGN.
While this is not our first game like this, there will always be unforeseen developments in manufacturing and logistics that are beyond our control, as we have learned to our peril in the past. That being said, barring a catastrophic meteor impact, a zombie apocalypse or other forms of armageddon (holy or otherwise), we are pretty sure that, thanks to our previous experience, the game is well prepared and that we have chosen our partners wisely (manufacturers, printers, freight forwarders, distributors, etc.).
