Tokaido is a story of a magical journey, where travelers walk a lonely road and occasionally hop in a hot springs with a monkey.
Interesting Mechanic: In each turn, the player who is furthest back on the road goes first. The goal of the game is really to stop as many places as possible, but you’re also competing with other players to hit those locations and complete sets of cards, so players will need to pick locations well without getting too far ahead of the rest of the travellers. Players can jump far ahead of their competitors to get something they think is very important, but that means followers can pick up things they skipped at their leisure.
He can choose which stops to stop at – acquiring meals, stopping in hot springs, giving alms at temples, making friends, or viewing beautiful panoramas.
Want to capture that feeling of going on vacation and not having time to do everything you want to do? Then this game is for you. Seriously, this is a seriously beautiful, almost zen-like game, that is simple to learn and to play.
