Fun Forge TKD5THUS01 Tokaido 5th Anniversary Edition, Mixed Colours

Product Information

Tokaido is a decent gateway game that emphasizes looks over depth. I recommend it to families, new players, and collectors. Regrettably, it won’t satisfy more seasoned board gamers.

This expansion adds a second option at each location (other than the Inns) to choose from when stopping. Village: At this space, the player collects Souvenir cards that belong to one of 4 types (Art, Clothing, Food, and Small Objects). The goal of the player is to collect sets of as many different types as possible. Points earned can range from 1 (for a single card) to 7 (for a complete set of 4 cards of all 4 types). Players can collect multiple sets, which will all score separately. Exhibition catalogue, The 53 Stations of the Tokaido Road Paintings by Nigel Caple, edited by Matthew Shaul, published by UH Galleries (University of Hertfordshire Galleries), 2001. ISBN 1898543658. Overall, Tokaido Duo is a beautifully crafted and engaging board game that combines strategy, exploration, and cultural immersion into an unforgettable gaming experience. The road itself is static. Unlike Parks, where you can set the tiles up randomly, in Tokaido, you always follow the same layout of locations. The only variable factor is that some locations offer more slots when there are more players playing.Matsuri further expands the Crossroads idea. There’s now a festival card drawn after every Inn visit, that adds temporary effects to the game. Instant scoring of certain achievements, future bonuses for certain locations, and similar. The game features stunning artwork and high-quality components, including a double-sided game board, colorful traveler pawns, and unique item cards. It is designed for two players, making it the perfect game for couples or friends looking for a fun and engaging gaming experience.

Bundle together with your belongings delightfully unexpected souvenirs, from the most modest to the most sophisticated, that you gather from surprising encounters that may change the course of your travels. Whilst we will do everything we can to meet the delivery times above, there may be factors outside of our control and we cannot guarantee delivery within this time frame. In the event of a tie, all tied players score points from that rank; e.g., two players tied for first place score 10 points each.Great for All Ages: Tokaido’s accessible rules and serene pace make it suitable for players of all ages and skill levels. It’s the perfect game for family gatherings, casual gaming nights, or quiet moments of reflection. There is some variability – there are several travelers, each with his own bonus or special ability. One can buy meals cheaper, the other starts with more money and so on. A piece of art with minor quirks

In Tokaido, the players take on the roles of ancient travelers, following the historic Tokaido road throughout Japan, from Kyoto to Edo (Tokyo). Their goal is simply to have the most rewarding experiences along the way, by making stops that let them collect souvenirs, relax in hot springs, encounter interesting characters, take in amazing panoramic views, donate to temples, and sample the local cuisine. Several of the actions the players may take involve some sort of set collection, presented in different ways. Once all of the travelers arrive at the final destination on the road (the inn in Edo), the game is over; the player with the most experience points is the winner. Game Components: Tokaido comes with many well-made components, including unique characters for each player to choose from.Narazaki, Muneshige (1969). Masterworks of Ukiyoe: The 53 Stations of the Tokaido. Tokyo & Palo Alto: Kodansha International Ltd. ISBN 0-87011-087-X. If a great presentation, family accessibility, and a relaxed atmosphere are things that you cherish more than deep gameplay mechanics and tough strategic choices, you will enjoy Tokaido. Even though I enjoy this game, and I’ve already taught it several times to new players, I honestly don’t see how often it will get to my gaming table. There are definitely a lot of meatier games out there that use the same mechanics, and I would most likely opt to play one of those over Tokaido, if given the choice. Discover the digital adaptation of Tokaido, the boardgame phenomenon that has already sold more than 250,000 copies worldwide, and has been translated into 14 languages! NOTE: Some of the spaces on the board are doubled. Double spaces are used only in games with 4 or 5 players.

Shodo & Emaki - For 1 coin, gain 1 point for each Souvenir or Legendary Object. Gain 1 point for each Souvenir thereafter. Encounters: At this space, the player draws an Encounter card, and applies the effect shown on it. These effects range from earning extra points or coins, to being able to draw an extra Souvenir or Panorama card. In today’s society, where life can be hectic, it can be difficult to remember to stop and smell the roses. Whilst there is no active rose smelling in this game, Tokaido is a game that embraces this principle. Tokaido Overview Two cards are drawn and the player which arrived at the Inn first selects one. This increases the incentive to jump locations and be the first to the inn and adds another layer of strategy. You’ll want to choose an effect that benefits you, not other players.

What Curators Say

Inns All Travelers must stop at each Inn, they may not leave until all players have arrived at that Inn. The Inns allow players to buy one unique Meal card for 1-3 coins that are worth 6 points. When the first traveler arrives at an Inn, they draw as many Meal cards as there are players, plus 1. As players arrive at the Inn they may buy a Meal card to add to their collection, hidden from other players.
