“Katekyo Hitman REBORN! THE 100 DILEMMAS – The Hundred Dilemma-“ is a cooperative party game where players aim to unanimously answer tricky, mafia-themed dilemmas posed by Reborn. It’s what you’d call a values-based game.

Now, let’s get into how it actually plays. This game works for 3 to 6 players, and the flexible player count is a big plus. Whether you have a small group or a full party, it’s easy to get into, and the conversation flows naturally, making for a lively, fun experience. We found it breaks the ice quickly, even with people meeting for the first time.
A question-type topic card from “Katekyo Hitman REBORN! THE 100 DILEMMAS – The Hundred Dilemma-“.
The heart of the game is the two-choice questions. They range from dilemmas that reveal someone’s personality or thinking to challenges where everyone predicts an outcome. It’s not about right or wrong answers; instead, it sparks conversations like, “I bet this person would pick this,” or “Wait, they might surprise us,” which really helps players understand each other better.
Gameplay in progress for “Katekyo Hitman REBORN! THE 100 DILEMMAS – The Hundred Dilemma-“.
Before deciding which card to play, players can ask the answerer up to two yes-or-no questions. Other players then use those hints to guess which choice will be made. The key twist is that everyone must agree on the answer; if opinions differ, it’s an immediate fail, so you need to sync up as a group.

Even if you think you know your friends well, some of these two-choice questions can stump you. During our playthrough, dilemmas like “If you were reborn, would you prefer to be the opposite sex or the same sex?” had us scratching our heads precisely because we knew each other, leading to huge laughs and heated debates.

Beyond just questions, there are also “challenge” topics where one player attempts a feat and others predict the outcome. The one that got our editorial team roaring was the challenge: “How many wrinkles can you make on your forehead?” This came up at a critical moment where unanimous agreement was needed to continue, so all eyes were on that player’s brow.
The editorial department’s all-out forehead wrinkle attempt.
We unanimously agreed on “three or more wrinkles,” but the result was a shocking zero—game over just like that.

We didn’t clear the game, but it was a blast that definitely brought our team closer. With 100 question cards, you can’t play through all of them in one session, and there are plenty more wild topics beyond what we tried. The cards also feature manga panels on the front and character illustrations on the back, making them visually fun. It’s a board game that sparks conversation through questions and lets you soak in the series’ world through art.
