User summary: 真説 大蛇のえじき (Shinsetsu Orochi no Ejiki), in English means "Victims of the Serpent: The True Story", is published with the English name The Eight-headed Dragon OROCHI.

Shinsetsu Orochi no Ejiki is a card game based on Yamata no Orochi Legends in Japanese mythology.

A game consists of seven rounds. Each round, players receive three human cards, each numbered 1-3, and one random special character card (Orochi, Susanoo, Oracle, Hermit, etc). They play one card simultaneously. If no one play Orochi, humans are safe and players who played a human with the lowest number score points. If Orochi is in play, humans are dead and the Orochi player scores points, but if both Orochi and Susanoo are in play, Susanoo slays Orochi and saves humans, and the Susanoo player steals points from the Orochi player. The game goes to next round after Orochi was played. Players should predict opponents' moves to score points and win the game.

Publisher's summary: 日本神話の「ヤマタノオロチ伝説」を題材に、人狼系&バッティングゲーム。7ラウンドで構成されたゲームで1ラウンドは最大4回プレイします。 プレイヤーはラウンド毎に1~3の基本カードとオロチやスサノオ、巫女、山伏など様々な役職を担当のカードを受け取ります。 ラウンド内でも得点が多い日もあれば少ない日もあります。 一番小さな数字のカードを出したプレイヤーが得点を得ます。 でも、オロチと一緒に出されるとオロチに食べられ、得点をオロチに持って行かれます。スサノオとオロチが同時に出るとオロチは倒されスサノオが得点を稼ぎます。このように、他のプレイヤーの動きを読みながら、より多くの得点の獲得を目指すゲームです。
