## Description

Elegance has always been at the core of Tokaido. This year at Gen Con, we were very pleased, with the help of Antoine Bauza himself, to unveil the first look at the upcoming , beautiful new version, the Tokaido 5th Anniversary Edition. With new artwork from Naïade, new graphics design for the cards, new panorama pictures for travelers to combine, and a fresh new graphical look, the Tokaido 5th Anniversary Edition will be both a new product that stands on its own while also continuing the tradition of elegance and beauty that everyone expects from this beloved brand! Each player is a traveler crossing the "East sea road", one of the most magnificent roads of Japan. While traveling, players will meet people, taste fine meals, collect beautiful items, discover great panoramas, and visit temples and wild places. At the end of the day, when everyone has arrived at the end of the road you'll have to be the most initiated traveler – which means that you'll have to be the one who discovered the most interesting and varied things.

Review: Beautiful, easy to learn, fun to play! - This is a top 10 for me. I own around 150 board games and this is definitely 1 of my favorites. The artwork is beautiful and the concept is unique. They compliment one another nicely. If someone is new to games I love to pull this 1 out because it’s easy to learn and fun. Not to mention people find the artwork stunning. Component quality is very nice. Makes a great gift and appreciated by board gaming enthusiasts alike. I’ve played this game probably 50x and it never gets old. There is high replayability due to the variable characters and your turn order rotating each round. Rounds are fast depending on the number of players but easy to finish in 20-30m with 4 players teaching someone. Rounds can go much faster with experienced players. I love the art and concept. Anyone at any age can play. Young children who are focused and interested can certainly pick this up. Great entry point for new board game players and a classic for those who enjoy board games. This is a light game but can be explored by strategists to great effect (considerations: start with more money or other bonuses like extra souvenirs, move first now or last to secure points on particular segments ahead, etc.).
Review: Life, Parcheesi, and a journey along Tokai-do - A review for Tokaido requires a discussion on the theme and art, and a discussion on the mechanics. Let's start with the mechanics. Tokaido is an odd combination of the Game of Life and Parcheesi, with a unique movement twist thrown in. Tokaido is based on Tokai-do, an old road that runs between Kyoto and Tokyo. The board is a representation of that road, with stops for beautiful views, hot springs, inns, and the like. Every turn, the last player on the road will move as little or as far as they would like - no dice rolling, no spinning, you decide the distance. However, you cannot stop at a location occupied by another player (the Parcheesi element), and all players must stop at the various inns for everyone to catch up. When you make stop, you will engage in an encounter and various things will happen - too varied for this review - all of which are based around points or money (the Game of Life element). You can also potentially gain benefits based on the ability of your traveler (there are 10, increasing the replayability substantially). It is simple premise, so I found myself surprised at the light tactical nature of the game. Where and when you move matters quite a bit, as does when you move into an inn. Your timing can both hurt your opponents and yourself if you're not careful. On top of that, you need to decide whether to play to your abilities or worry more about hamper your opponent's. While Tokaido won't win any awards for it's strategy, it will keep your brain engaged enough during your play. The theme and the art are what really steal the show and bring the game to the table. As noted, the game is about a journey, a peaceful walk in a slower time. Everything is (digitally) painted in bright watercolors, with quite a bit of variation within each type of encounter. For example, when you draw a meal card at the inn, there are 10 or 12 different food types. It is a pleasant experience to play this game on a cold rainy day; with a bit of imagination, you really feel as though you are travelling along the coast of southern Japan. To me, it is that ability to inspire the imagination that puts Tokaido into the 5-star territory. Once the mechanics are explained, our house rule will be that you don't receive your points unless you role-play the encounter. There is enough variety among the encounter types - and of course the imagination is limitless - to turn the game into a great story-telling game! On top of being great for kids, it helps make the game remain meaningful even when you are in last place. Even if you don't play that way, you will find yourself writing a story in your head. I would strongly suggest this game for any family and as a light breather for game groups. It is a simple game, but one that can still make you smile if you let it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this game be played solo?**
A: The game is supposed to be played with a minimum of 2 players. When there are 2 players both players take turns with a 3rd imaginary player. 
 More is better though.
I suppose you could setup 2 more imaginary players and take turns. That would still be enjoyable.

**Q: How many players can play using the expansion?**
A: The expansion doesn't add new pilgrim pieces--just gives more travelers to choose from--so the limit is still five players (and honestly, more than five players would create serious problems with space-denial).

**Q: One of the pictures shows miniature figures. Does this come with the minis?**
A: This expansion does NOT come with the mini figures. That picture should not be in this post. The mini figures come with the collectors accessory set, found here:   https://www.amazon.com/Tokaido-Collectors-Accessory-Pack-Board/dp/B01ATBQ1WU/ref=sr_1_5?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1492707510&sr=1-5&keywords=Tokaido

**Q: What’s the difference between the out of print edition and the new edition?**
A: The art is the only difference.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Family game. Fun and strategic as well as being beautiful
*by M***D on March 31, 2023*

Great Family game. Fun and strategic as well as being beautiful. Another game that totally lives up to the hype. The game is easy to pick up and teach, and its unique movement system is something that can appeal to anyone of any age. It's a fun thinky puzzle game that scratches the itch that something like sudoku or solitaire might scratch. It doesn't take too long to play either, so you're always left with that "one more game!" feeling. I'm glad I finally copped a copy, and I couldn't recommend it more.
