In Tokaido, you are a traveler 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.

John ★★★★★

Played this with three friends who usually hate slow games and everyone was hooked by the second round. The crossroads mechanic where you choose to move further ahead or linger for encounters is such a clever twist on turn order. We ended up replaying it twice in one night.

Violet R. ★★★★★

The art on every card is gorgeous, and the mechanic of stopping to collect encounters instead of racing ahead makes it feel more like a journey than a competition. My wife and I played three rounds back to back the first night.

Brian K. ★★★★★

I picked this up for game nights with my wife, and the pacing is so relaxed that we actually chat between turns instead of rushing. The art on the travel cards is gorgeous, and the whole thing plays in under an hour, which is rare for something this pretty.
