Tokaido Matsuri

Japanese festivals

We travel through the feudal Japan of ancient times, following the reputed Tokaido, the old road leading from Kyoto to Edo that takes us through magnificent landscapes, and enjoying culinary specialties and unforgettable encounters. The player in last position is the active player for a turn, moves any distance and resolves the effects of the spot where he finishes his move. When all travelers have arrived at Edo, you score for donations to temples and achievement cards for Gourmet, Baths, Encounters and Souvenirs; on the road you can acquire an achievement card for Panorama. The game includes variants for a simple game, a return journey or a more tactical arrival at the Inn.

The Matsuri expansion introduces traditional Japanese Festivals to the game and can only be played in combination with Tokaido and the Tokaido Crossroads expansion.

Matsuri also introduces 16 new traveler cards which you can shuffle together with the travelers from the core game and Crossroads and then choose your traveler form three instead of two, or you can directly select your favorite traveler. When all travelers have arrived at an intermediate inn, a festival is triggered. The traveler who reached the inn first, draws two Matsuri cards and chooses one of them. The other one is put back to the bottom of the stack. The chosen card is instantly implemented, it yields advantages for all travelers or some of them. The new travelers also have unique abilities.

Matsuri is yet another exceptionally beautiful expansion, it is a pleasure to only look at the card and take your time to select your preferred traveler.
