Tokaido [Board Game]

Tokaido offers a tranquil yet engaging experience that celebrates the journey over the destination.

Embark on a serene journey along Japan’s historic Tōkaidō Road with Tokaido, reimagined by Stonemaier Games. Designed by Antoine Bauza, this beloved Euro-style board game invites 1-5 players (ages 8+) to craft a rich and fulfilling travel experience through ancient Japan. With an average playtime of 45 minutes, Tokaido blends elegant strategy, breathtaking artwork by Naïade, and a peaceful Zen-like atmosphere.

As a traveler, you’ll traverse the picturesque route between Kyoto and Edo (Tokyo), stopping to savor culinary delights, collect unique souvenirs, paint stunning panoramas, soak in rejuvenating hot springs, and forge unforgettable encounters. The goal isn’t to race to the finish but to gather the most meaningful memories through clever set-collection mechanics. Tokaido’s innovative time-track system ensures every move is strategic: the player furthest behind on the path acts next, allowing you to choose between lingering for more opportunities or advancing to secure key locations before others.

The Stonemaier Games edition elevates this classic with thoughtful enhancements:

• Automa Solo Mode: Enjoy a robust solo experience with the included Automa system, also available separately for existing Tokaido owners, expanding the player count to 1-5.
• Premium Components: Manufactured by Panda, this edition features upgraded 310gsm cardstock for panorama and playing cards, high-quality cardboard coins, and durable player tokens, all housed on a beautifully illustrated 280x840mm game board.
• Enhanced Accessibility: A revised rulebook, text on cards and character tiles for clarity, and player reference cards explaining each location make gameplay intuitive and welcoming.
• Full Compatibility: Seamlessly integrates with existing Tokaido expansions like Crossroads and Matsuri for expanded replayability.
• Streamlined Design: A single, high-quality edition (no separate deluxe version) with a score track wrapped around the board for easier handling.
