Tokaido

Number of Players: 1-5
Playing Time: 45 Minutes
Recommended Ages: 10+ 

In Tokaido, you are a traveller in ancient Japan. You will follow the prestigious Tokaido–a road between Kyoto and Edo (Tokyo)–as you try to have a rich and fulfilling experience. Pass through magnificent countryside, taste delicious culinary specialties, purchase souvenirs, benefit from the virtues of hot springs, and have unforgettable encounters on your journey.

Tokaido features a time-track mechanism in which the active player is the person who is furthest behind on the path. When you are the active player, you can move your character as far forward as you’d like (with required stops at Inns), gaining different types of set-collection benefits at each unique location.

What’s Different?

The Stonemaier Games version of Tokaido is completely compatible with existing expansions, and it features these updates:

• an Automa solo mode, expanding the player count to 1-5 players. The solo mode will be available both in this version of the game and separately (for those who already own Tokaido).
• manufactured by Panda using our standards for component quality (e.g., the panorama cards will be upgraded to the same 310gsm cardstock they use for all their cards). For any components that need to integrate with existing Tokaido expansions, they're matching the composition for full compatibility.
• a revised rulebook for clarity and accessibility (the gameplay is the same).
• text on some cards and the character tiles to accompany the icons (so you don’t need to reference the rulebook to decipher combinations of icons).
• reference cards for each player that explain the locations.
