Featured Game - Let's Go! to Japan

Featured games are our way of teaching new games and highlighting something we think our players may enjoy or take note of. We'll explain from scratch how to play the game with a detailed description and demonstrate a few turns, then break into tables to actually play it. Each week it'll be something new, but will run the spectrum of different lengths, complexities, themes, and game mechanics. So if this week's game doesn't interest you, feel free to look again next time around!

Let's Go! to Japan is a card-based game around planning a vacation to Japan. Each turn, you'll draw cards, then choose which of those to add to your schedule. Your goal is to plan three events for each of the six days of your vacation, which will all be executed in order once your itinerary is complete. Certain days are favorable to certain types of events, and you'll want to minimize how often you're moving between cities.

Let's Go! to Japan is a game for up to 4 players an should take experienced players about 30 to 45 minutes to play. It has a complexity of 2.26 on BoardGameGeek, making it medium light compared to games typically played here.

If this is your first time with this group, you should see a link to our Discord group once you've signed up for this event. You may join any time before the event begins to get to know people, but once this event starts, we'll typically join the Lobby voice chat, then move to another voice chat once we've gotten started. Note that I, as the game teacher, will share my screen to show how the game works, but all other interaction will be voice only, no video, so no need to look presentable first. The game itself will be played using Board Game Arena - please create an account on this site beforehand.
