Ryuutama is a Japanese tabletop role-playing game about traveling and friendship by Atsuhiro Okada. It is influenced by the animation of Hayao Miyazaki. [1] The English translation is by Matt Sanchez and Andy Kitkowski. The game prioritizes exploration and everyday life in a fantasy world, rather than combat. [2] Dragons represent landscapes and climates. [3]

Reception

Ryuutama won the 2016 Silver ENNIE Award for Best Family Game. [4] Kristina Manente for Syfy recommended Ryuutama as one of twelve tabletop role-playing games beyond Dungeons & Dragons, praising the game's resources for GMs and focus on storytelling. [2]
