Stonemaier Games: Tokaido Duo - A Zen Strategy Board Game by Antoine Bauza

About this item

• Two Player: Tokaido Duo is a standalone game inspired by Tokaido but featuring completely new mechanisms. 1-2 players use a quick dice draft each turn to steer three unique characters on different tracks around the smallest of Japan’s main islands.
• Character Abilities: As the pilgrim, visit shrines, gardens, seashores, and hot springs. As the merchant, collect and sell traditional souvenirs. As the artist, paint a variety of beautiful vistas, and gift your paintings to locals. Gain points through each character’s discoveries as you race to complete one of their jobs while enjoying the journey.
• Dice Drafting: Each player is involved in every turn, so there is very little downtime. On your turn, roll 3 dice, choose 1, then your opponent chooses 1, and you get the remaining die. This provides interesting choices and player interactions.
• Solo Mode: The Stonemaier Games version of Tokaido Duo features character guides for each player and an Automa solo mode (which is both included in the game and available separately for those who already own Tokaido Duo). The Automa simulates an opponent for you to compete against, while your game as a player remains the same. On the Automa’s turn, flip a card to see what action it takes.
• High Replayability: With many different choices and items to collect, this two player game will leave you wanting more and wanting to visit again and again.
• For families, solo gamers, and game groups alike: This action drafting strategy game for 1-2 players has a 20-30 minute playing time with only a 5 minute setup time. Great game for couples, solo gamers, 2 players, family, and friends, making this a wonderful gift for cozy gamers, anyone who loves Japan, and serene illustrations.
• Beautifully Designed and Illustrated: Light-weight, zen worker placement strategy game created by Antoine Bauza (7 Wonders, Takenoko). Beautifully illustrated by Naïade (Seasons).
• A Peaceful Experience for All: With simple actions and a unique graphic design, Tokaido Duo offers players a peaceful zen mood in its play. Time will be your best means to remain clear-signed, methodical and patient so you don’t miss anything on this unique road but instead can fully savor the experience Tokaido has to offer.
• Thematically Designed Mechanisms: Traveling along the busy Tokaido road, you will need to stop at Inns along the way and get some food, you may need to take a break from your travels to work on a farm for some extra money, and you’ll want to collect souvenirs for friends and family back home. All of these elements are richly apparent in the design for Tokaido Duo.
