Tokaido Duo (2022)

About this game

After Journeying the Tokaido road, it is now time to discover the island of Shikoku in Tokaido Duo! In Tokaido Duo, 2 players pace the fourth biggest isle of the Japanese archipelago. You will discover its many sceneries through the eyes of three different characters, and will thus experience a threefold spiritual journey. As the Pilgrim, you will visit temples, forests, seashores and hot springs. As the merchant, you will craft and sell handmade wares. As the artist, you will paint a variety of beautiful sceneries, and gift them to passers-by. You will earn points through all three characters' adventures as you slowly become one with their endeavours.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 1.8/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
