In this colossal game, players lead their historic civilization as they gain victory points by expanding their population, building cities, trading and developing their knowledge and culture. Notwithstanding its large scope, the game's core mechanics are straightforward and easy to learn. A key element in the game is player interaction as they position themselves on the map board and search for valuable commodities during interactive trading sessions.
In Let's Go! To Japan, you are a traveler planning, then experiencing your own dream vacation to Japan. The game consists of thirteen rounds in which players draw activity cards illustrated by Japan-based artists and strategically place them in different days in their week-long itinerary. These can't-miss tourist attractions will have you bouncing between Tokyo and Kyoto as you try to puzzle out the optimal activities to maximize your experience while balancing your resources. The game ends with a final round in which you ultimately go on your planned trip, activating each of your cards in order along the way. The player who collects the most points by the end of their trip wins!
Come for the ridiculously cute meeples, stay for the fun, light strategy game of card drafting and area control. If you are a fan of "Keep The Monsters Out" this is made by the same designer! A fairly simple game but planning available card streaks to match what you would like your meeples on the board to be able to do keeps it feeling strategic.
I played this game once at a convention and have been dying to play it again. It has been a little bit, so please bear with me for rules. I have added extra time to the play time to account for learning time.
