This is just odd

Not Ys-related.

Ys came from a new designer and a new company and the result is a game that sneaked up on many strategy game players. Using a limited set of bidding markers, players bid for influence in up to 12 city areas and the stock market. Control within a quarter of the city and within specific regions earns players valuable gems. The market value of the game changes through the game, so owning majority positions in the most valuable gems at game end is the key to victory. Special cards, also earned through the bidding marker process, help to bias things in ways that can surprise others and help to increase holdings. Since half of the bidding markers are placed so others can’t see their value, Ys is a game of both strategy and double-thinking. In addition to terrific game play, Ys also features a beautiful production with quality components and colorful original artwork.

Yeah, I know, I'm just wondering how they get away with using the name. To me, it's like someone making a board game, & calling it Final Fantasy or Breath of Fire......though, granted, those are longer names, but, Ys isn't a common word like final, fantasy, breath, etc.

Well, it was called Ys.

Probably pronounced Y S or something.

Hmm, didn't think of that

there is a Ys Dungeon & Dragons style board game to speak of, it is just a 200 page book that shows you how to play and comes with the little paper figures for the characters, you have to make the board your self. but there is one available, like D&D it looks complicated and there are alot of rules, made even more difficult due to the fact that the book is all in japanese.
