Funforge Passport Game Studios Tokaido -5th Anniversary Edition Board Games

Played this game quite a few times with my family and always loved the game. It’s not overly competitive, nor cutthroat, but there’s definitely a lot of planning involved to make things happen haha. A fun buy if you’re looking to play a little more relaxed game.

It's a great game to play with family. It's a strategic game to accrue the maximum points while travelling from Tokyo to Kyoto travelling through inns, souvenir shops, temples etc. Different players have different strengths and bring something unique to the game. It's fun each time. And it's beautifully designed game.

Un hermoso juego de mesa, diferente, divertido y fácil de aprender. Si te gustan los detalles populares de la cultura japonesa es definitivamente un juego que no debe faltar. Estéticamente bien diseñado desde la caja a los componentes del juego. Es un juego de persecución y estrategia pero, ligero y agradable. Centrado en la idea que "el viaje es mas divertido que llegar al destino" . Las partidas siempre resultan amenas y entretenidas y duran una hora aproximadamente, lo cual lo hace una magnífica opción en reuniones familiares o de amigos. En mi opinión, es un excelente juego.

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.).

Undoubtedly a sumptuous visual feast for Japanophiles as travellers simulate the ancient tokaido experience and be rewarded for it. The eye-catching artwork resembles that of an anime or manga with a pre-Meiji backdrop. Depending on the number of players gameplay can take anything from 30 min to an hour. It certainly works best as a "gateway" game for the uninitiated. It's easy to learn and very nice to look at. The game can be played as peaceably or aggressively as the players want to. It combines an element of luck (card draws) and leaves room for the use of tactics as players inevitably get in the way of each other's leisure and consumption goals. Although I bought this to get the entire family off their devices, there is a cute iOS/Android app that opens up more opportunities to play different players. For the more competitive amongst us it allows for some extra practice.

Gioco molto divertente e ingenioso. In viaggio nell'antico Giappone ottimi disegni e grande giocabilità.

Very nice game. Board is beautiful and the concept and gameplay is nice. Doesnt feel like you are competing and more like just going on a journey and doing what you want.
