Welcome to the Tōkaidō, the legendary East Sea Road connecting Kyōto to Edo.
Here you will begin an extraordinary journey in which you will visit and discover countless wonders of traditional Japan.
Tokaido is a game for 2 to 5 players, with a unique Japanese atmosphere and aesthetics, set during the Tokugawa dynasty. The players are pilgrims on a journey along the legendary East Sea Road of Japan. Along the way, they will attempt to collect the most beautiful souvenirs, discover gorgeous vistas, enjoy enriching encounters, soak in soothing hot springs, sample sumptuous cuisine and much more!
In Tokaido, players become travelers crossing the Japanese East Sea Road looking for discoveries and natural marvels. Each traveler will get several opportunities to stop by stations all along the road, in which they will be able to purchase souvenirs, meet people, pay your respects to shrines, sample local cuisine, bathe in hot springs or even paint sumptuous vistas.
Player order will be decided based on how far everyone is from the end of their journey. The furthest one from the goal gets to play, which will lead players to choose their moves wisely, in order not to be left behind while not moving too quickly ahead either.
Since player order is fleeting, and each station has a limited amount of spaces available, travelers will have to face constant dilemmas. Every players' collection and points will be available to the others at all times, which means you'll have to decipher everyone's strategies and anticipate their moves - either to act in your own interests or to thwart those of your fellow travelers...
