TOKAIDO is a game for 2 to 5 players, with unique atmosphere and aesthetics, in which the players are pilgrims on a journey along the legendary East Sea Road of Japan. It is extremely easy to get started, thanks to its fluid, simple, and tactical rules. Along the way, you will try to collect beautiful souvenirs, discover glorious vistas, enjoy enriching encounters, soak in soothing hot springs, sample sumptuous cuisine, and much more.

The video below should be useful for those who want to know how to play the base game. Else don't worry, everyone will be briefed on the game on the actual day ;)
Aside from this feature game, we'll also be playing other Japanese-themed games like MaiStar, Hanamokiji, Ninjato, Sushi Go, and many more!

Before the games, we'll meet at 6pm at Yorimichi Yakitori @ Golden Mile Tower #01-02 for dinner.
