In Tajuto, players take on the role of Buddhist monks and attempt to attain the highest spirituality. On their turn, they can activate their action tiles to draw (and build) pagoda tiles from the bag, make sacrifices to earn meditation points, and acquire tiles that allow them to progress faster or earn spirituality points. Activating more than one action tile or acquiring tiles costs meditation points. The game ends once the fourth pagoda is completed. The player with the most spirituality points wins.

The main feature of the game is drawing the pagoda tiles from the bag. The pagoda tiles have a decreasing size per level. Players may blindly poke around to try to identify the floor by its size, but they probably won't be able to detect its color this way, so that makes it extra exciting.
