[Digimaus]

 

Studio Ghibli, renowned for its captivating animations like Spirited Away and My Neighbor Totoro, has created a delightful surprise for fans: a free-downloadable board game. This charming creation offers a whimsical journey through the enchanting world of Ghibli Park, right from the comfort of your own home.

 

Designed by Goro Miyazaki, the son of legendary animator Hayao Miyazaki, the board game is more than just a game; it’s a beautifully illustrated poster that captures the essence of Ghibli’s signature style. The game board cleverly reimagines the official Ghibli Park promotional poster. While it includes practical elements like the park's website URL, a QR code, and a reminder that tickets can be reserved on the 10th of each month, the rest of the space is dedicated to art and interactive play.

 

The game, classified as a sugoroku (a simple, dice-based Japanese board game), invites players to roll the die, move their pieces, and follow the directions on the board. The goal is to reach the iconic Totoro at the center of the board.

 

This free gift from Studio Ghibli is a unique opportunity to experience the magic of Ghibli Park without leaving your home. Don't worry if you can't read Japanese—English translations are available here, ensuring fans worldwide can join the fun.

 

 

To get started, simply download it from the Ghibli Park website. With a printer, scissors, and tape, you can easily assemble the game and its components, including playing pieces and a die. Whether you’re playing with family, friends, or solo, get ready to immerse yourself in the enchanting world of Ghibli.
