{"product_id":"stm-275","title":"Tokaido","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a classic game, which we had the opportunity to bring into the Stonemaier catalog last year. We have added some fantastic quality of life improvements to help this game continue to be a welcoming, beautiful evergreen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e♦ Our version includes an Automa solo mode, expanding the player count to 1-5 players. The solo mode will be available both in our version of the game and separately (for those who already own Tokaido).\u003cbr\u003e♦ Our version is manufactured by Panda using our standards for component quality (e.g., the panorama cards will be upgraded to the same 310gsm cardstock we use for all our cards). For any components that need to integrate with existing Tokaido expansions, we’re matching the composition for full compatibility.\u003cbr\u003e♦ Our version includes a revised rulebook for clarity and accessibility (the gameplay is the same).\u003cbr\u003e♦ Our version includes 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).\u003cbr\u003e♦ Our version includes reference cards for each player that explain the locations.\u003cbr\u003e♦ We’re just making 1 version of Tokaido, not a standard and a deluxe version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Tokaido, each player is a traveler crossing the \"East sea road\", one of the most magnificent roads of Japan. While traveling, you will meet people, taste fine meals, collect beautiful items, discover great panoramas, and visit temples and wild places but 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe potential action spaces in Tokaido are laid out on a linear track, with players advancing down this track to take actions. The player who is currently last on the track takes a turn by advancing forward on the track to their desired action and taking that action. So, players must choose whether to advance slowly in order to get more turns, or to travel more rapidly to beat other players to their desired action spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe action spaces allow a variety of actions which will score in different, but roughly equal, ways. Some action spaces allow players to collect money, while others offer players a way to spend that money to acquire points. Other action spaces allow players to engage in various set collections which score points for assembling those sets. Some action spaces simply award players points for stopping on them, or give the player a randomly determined action from all of the other types.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll of the actions in Tokaido are very simple, and combined with a unique graphic design, Tokaido offers players a peaceful zen mood in its play.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2-5 players\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAges 8+\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e45 minute play time\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eContents:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1 Game board\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e5 Traveler pieces\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e5 Travel point markers\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e5 Player color tokens\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e50 Coins\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e10 Traveler tiles\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e12 Hot Spring cards\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e60 Panorama cards\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e25 Meal cards\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e24 Souvenir cards\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e14 Encounter cards\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e7 Achievement cards\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stonemaier Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43403911102654,"sku":"850064100051","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0591\/6547\/5006\/files\/asmtkd01_web_box_3d_l.jpg?v=1703299192","url":"https:\/\/shallweplaygames.com\/products\/stm-275","provider":"Shall We Play?
